| Abstract: |
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. U.S.A. purse-seine vessels fishing in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO) have been monitored by NOAA Fisheries under the SPTT since 1988. Logbook and landings data must be submitted as a requirement of the SPTT with 100% logbook coverage. Most SPTT-licensed vessels e-report their daily logbook data through a software system called Industry Fisheries Information Management System (iFIMS), and also submit copies of their catch and effort logbooks, their offloading logbooks, and cannery receipts to PIRO field staff in American Samoa. The WCPO fleet operates mainly in areas between 10 degrees N and 10 degrees S latitude and 130 degrees E and 150 degrees W longitude, with the majority of the fishing effort occurring south of the equator. |
