Tuna Fisheries Report – Papua New Guinea
URL: https://pacific-data.sprep.org/system/files/SC2_CR_PNG_0.pdf
Papua New Guinea’s Exclusive Economic Zone (PNG EEZ), 2.4 million km2 in extent, is one of the largest and more productive in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean. Industrial scale fisheries for tuna and associated species have operated since the 1950s, and in certain years, around 10% of the global catch of the main market species of tuna has been taken within the PNG EEZ. The tuna fishery is the largest of Papua New Guinea’s fisheries and represents a balance of both domestic industry development and foreign Distant Water Fishing Nations (DWFN) access arrangements.
