SUMMARY
SUMMARY
IDENTIFICATION
SCIENTIFIC NAME(s)
Thunnus albacares
SPECIES NAME(s)
Yellowfin tuna
Regional fidelity, genetic research suggests there may be multiple populations of yellowfin tuna in the eastern Pacific Ocean (Minte-Vera et al. 2015). However, a single stock assessment is conducted throughout this area (IATTC 2020).
ANALYSIS
Strengths
- IATTC assesses the stock status and there is a multiannual management and conservation plan in place.
