Abstract
The results of tuna longlining training activities conducted in the Indian EEZ are summarized. The following aspects were examined in particular: 1) proper and effective use of navigational aids; 2) meteorological and oceanographic observations to locate tuna grounds; 3) proper rigging and maintenance of gear; and 4) post-harvest operations of fish handling on board. Findings indicate good prospects for the commercial exploitation of oceanic tuna in the area.
