Since 1988, U.S. purse seine vessels have had access to fish in waters of some foreign Pacific Island countries under the South Pacific Tuna Treaty (SPTT). This fleet primarily targets skipjack and yellowfin tuna, but also incidentally catches bigeye tuna. In the Western Central Pacific Ocean, the fleet primarily lands its catch in Pago Pago, American Samoa, though historically the fleet has also offloaded in other Pacific Islands ports.

Historically, the purse-seine fishery began in the Eastern Pacific Ocean (EPO) in the 1950s. Most of the purse seine tuna catch came from the EPO until 1993 when many vessels moved to fish in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean in response to dolphin conservation measures in the EPO and to fishing access granted to the U.S.A by the South Pacific Tuna Treaty (SPTT) in 1987.
