Fisheries face challenges in improving efficiency and reducing their emission footprint and
operating costs. Decision support systems offer an opportunity to tackle such challenges …

To protect the most vulnerable marine species it is essential to have an understanding of
their spatiotemporal distributions. In recent decades, Bayesian statistics have been …

Colonial animals experience density-dependent competition for food, which is posited to
influence foraging range and lead to inter-colony segregation. However, such patterns are …

The spatial-temporal environmental preferences and biomass aggregation of tropical tuna
from purse seine fishery in the Mozambique Channel (MZC) have barely been investigated …

Drifting fish aggregating devices (dFADs) are extensively used in modern tuna purse seine
fisheries. The use of dFADs has greatly improved fishing efficiency and generated …

Purse-seine fisheries use drifting Fish Aggregating Devices (dFADs), human-made floating
objects, to facilitate the capture of tropical tunas. Currently, the majority of dFADs are …

Despite the crucial role played by international and regional tuna fisheries in facilitating the
successful implementation of the ecosystem approach to fisheries management, there exist …

Identifying the spatio-temporal distribution hotspots of fishes and allocating priority
conservation areas could facilitate the spatial planning and efficient management. As a …

Yellowfin tuna, Thunnus albacares, represents an important component of commercial and
recreational fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM). We investigated the influence of …

Abstract Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) are artificial floating objects deployed in tropical
and subtropical pelagic oceans to attract tuna species for capture. Understanding the wave …
