1 14 th PICES The vertical and horizontal distribution of bigeye tuna (Thunnus( obesus) ) and yellowfin tuna (Thunnus( albacares) ) related to ocean structure Eun Jung Kim 1,2, Suam Kim 1, Dae-Yeon Moon 2 and Jeong-Rack Koh 2 1 Pukyong National University 2 National Fisheries Research & Development Institute

2 Introduction The tuna fishing area in the Tropical Pacific Longline Fishing area Purse seine Warm pool fishing area NINO3.4 High density area

3 deph Schematic vertical distribution of tuna tspecies in Pacific

4 Skipjack tuna & environmental factors E130 E150 E170 W170

5 Bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) Yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares)

6 Objective To find the response of spatial & vertical distribution of bigeye & yellowfin tuna related to the oceanographic condition

7 Horizontal distribution of bigeye and yellowfin tuna

21 Summary Spatial distribution with season was not clear, but catch locations of both species look coherent longitudinally. Bigeye tuna seem to distribute further east than yellowfin tuna. El Niño might affect on the longitudinal fishing grounds of both species. However, yellowfin tuna response more sensitively to the environmental change than bigeye tuna.

22 Summary Bigeye tuna located in deeper depth than yellowfin tuna. When the SOI was negative (i.e., thermocline was shallow in the western area), the tuna distributions seemed to be located more in the western area, and vice versa. The vertical movement was not clear from our study.

23 Future study Use of more vertical data over longer period Investigation on distribution of several tuna species under dynamical ocean structure
