The same procedure was done for Sea surface temperature and Depth of 0 C Isotherm MapInfo software later utilize to overlay the difference in CPUE of BET/YFT with depth 0 C Isotherm during El Nino and La Nina.

38 Methods I. Tuna catches among the three areas Only chose Korean dataset. An average monthly time-series of total catches for Yellowfin and Bigeye Tuna was plotted (-00). II. Comparison of BET & YFT distribution among the zones CPUE = No. of Fish Caught /0 Hooks (Index of abundance) A paired t-test used to compare the annual average of CPUE in each x grid between BET & YFT within zones. Annual average of CPUE for each species for each zones was also plotted Annual average of CPUE for each species for each zones was also plotted for comparison among zones.

62 Conclusion Yll Yellowfin and dbigeye Tuna are the major target t species of Distant Longline fleets in Kiribati EEZ Korea is the major foreign Country with composed nearly % of all total tuna harvested from Kiribati EEZ. BET and YFT as well as environmental conditions were different among the three zones.

63 Conclusion Zone is relatively colder compared to west Gilbert and central Phoenix Thermocline depth (depth of 0 C Isotherm) is relatively shallower in the east Line region (Zone ) compared to central Phoenix region (Zone ) and west gilbert region (zone ) YFT Distribution of Bigeye and Yellowfin Tuna YFT BET Prefer warmer water Prefer colder water

64 Conclusion Comparison of tuna species & environmental data (SST & TD) within zones During El Nino During La Nina Warm water Higher SST BET YFT Lower SST YFT Higher SST Higher SST BET Lower SST BET BET BET Lower SST Warm water Warm water BET Thermocline depth become shallower Thermocline depth become deeper

65 Conclusion BET increased directly with the increase in SSTA of Nino. region in zone. month time lagged in zone and month in zone. YFT took longer time responding in all three zones. BET:El Nino enhance, and La Nina reduce in all three zones. YFT:La nina increase, especially in zone. For Kiribati basic management.
