HTTP tag release data 13,433 YF & BE from Cross or weather buoys Estimated weight ratio YF = 21.7% BE = 78.3% Rectuitment size YF = ~ 28 cm BE = ~ 30 cm Exit size?? need to examine landing data Fork Length (cm) Yellowfin Fork Length (cm) Bigeye

9 B1 Transfer rates Bigeye 1 B3 238 days X 542 days B2 B4
10 Ecological hypotheses Yellowfin: recruit from?? (local + immigrants), after which they remain island associated. Bigeye: recruit from down south, remain a few years cycling between fishing grounds and open water areas - and then leave, south to spawn or north to feed?? Tuna cycle on and off vulnerability points (seamounts, FADs & koas), moving between them but not remaining long. Emmigration is the major source of losses from the Seamount. See inshore and offshore movements, but general conclusion is for low interaction rates between offshore handline fishery and inshore fisheries. See measurable transfer rates between Seamount and Longline fishery, but note a relatively stable longline CPUE. Management?

12 14 th meeting of the Standing Committee on Tuna and Billfish Noumea, New Caledonia 9-16 August 2001 Expressed concern on the status of yellowfin and bigeye in WCPO Recognized increasing catchability of juveniles, particularly by FAD based purse seine fisheries Recommended no further increases in fishing mortality in surface fisheries for yellowfin and bigeye, until
13 Local concerns for management Gear interaction: shallow-set Longline vs handline Limited area of fishing grounds Limited market niche for juvenile fish Low value of product, low yield per recruit Viewed as waste of resource to take juveniles Manage on social or economic basis

16 Summary and recommendations Fix the seamount data, monitor fishery closely Improve data reporting and accessibility Direct further discussion of Cross Seamount management to social and economic considerations Refine estimates of residence times and transfer rates,. using fishery independent means Encourage data exchange and dialogue with the bigger picture Support research on the mechanisms of aggregation Support research linking the physical environment (islands, seamounts, currents) with the life history of pelagic species.
