It is likely there is one stock of bigeye tuna across the Pacific Ocean. The assessment in the EPO is conducted assuming there is a single population for management purposes {Aires-da-Silve and Maunder 2014}.

ANALYSIS

Strengths

There is a catch limit set by the IATTC for the bigeye tuna captured by the longline fisheries of some countries (China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and the United States). There is a compromise from the rest of the IATTC's member countries to ensure that their annual catch won't overpass an established level by the organization.
