Bycatch and non-tuna catch in the tropical purse seine fisheries of the world

Date modified: 11 February 2022

This report provides a review of our knowledge of the bycatches, defined as discarded dead, from the tropical tuna purse seine fisheries of the world. The major fishing grounds involved (eastern and western Pacific, eastern Atlantic, and western Indian Oceans) share the gear, the ways of fishing, and the structure of the pelagic communities. Because of that, the species taken in association with tuna schools tend to be the same in all regions.
