WCPFC Tuna Fishery Yearbook
The WCPFC Tuna Fishery
Yearbook presents annual catch estimates in the WCPFC Statistical
Area from 1950 onwards. The tables of catch statistics cover the four main commercial
species caught in the region: albacore (Thunnus alalunga), bigeye
(Thunnus obesus), skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis) and yellowfin
(Thunnus albacares).
The Tuna Yearbook is prepared by the OFP under contract to the
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission.
