dc.description.abstractExploitation of tuna resources has been identified as one of the thrust areas for increasing export of Indian marine products (Joseph et al., 2008). The Indian EEZ alone has a resource potential of 0.21 million tonnes of oceanic tuna consisting of yellowfin 54%, skipjack 40% and bigeye 6% (Anon, 2000). The resources extend tar beyond the EEZ as tunas are highly migratory and straddling stocks. Tunas are exploited by a variety of gears and major share in India is landed by gill nets, followed by hooks and lines and purse seines (Pravin, 2009; John and Pillai, 2009). Tuna landings along he Indian coast was estimated at 61,972 t during 2009, and the fishery is supported mainly by Euthynnus affinis, Thunnus albacares, Auxis spp., Katsuwonus pelamis, Thunnus tonggol (CMFRI, 2010). Stock assessment has indicated that while nearly 86% of the coastal tuna potential is being exploited, only less than 15% of oceanic tuna potential is currently being exploited (CMFRI, 2010). Tuna resources in the shelf are more or less fully utilized and that further avenue for development lies in harvesting the oceanic tuna stocks. Fishing capacity from the shelf fishery is being diverted, with appropriate modifications, for harvesting the oceanic tuna resources.en_US
