SUMMARY
SUMMARY
IDENTIFICATION
SCIENTIFIC NAME(s)
Katsuwonus pelamis
SPECIES NAME(s)
Skipjack tuna
There remains uncertainty around the stock structure of skipjack in the Atlantic but the hypothesis of separate Eastern and Western stocks is the most plausible (ICCAT, 2006; ICCAT, 2014).
ANALYSIS
Strengths
- The population of skipjack tuna in the Eastern Atlantic is most likely healthy and fishing mortality rates are sustainable.
