Description The earliest estimate of growth of skipjack tuna in
the Pacific Ocean was that of Aikawa (1937) who
examined 20 specimens from the islands off the southern
part of Izu Peninsula in the western Pacific and later
Aikawa and Kato (1938) examined 20 specimens from
the Palau Island area. Kawasaki (1955) estimated
the growth of skipjack from the south western sea off
Japan, based on the progression of modal groups.
In a later publication Kawasaki (1963) gave additional
estimates of growth rates based on the data from the
area off north eastern Japan. Yokota et al. (1961)
estimated the growth rates based on modal progression
of skipjack from the Sulu Sea. Brock (1954) studied
the growth of skipjack in the area of the Hawaiian
islands by examining the progression of modes computed
from length frequency studies. Rothschild (1967)
estimated the parameters of growth for this species
on the basis of 35 recoveries of fish tagged in Hawaiian
waters -in 1958 which were at liberty upto 420 days.
In the eastern Pacific, Schaefer et al. (1961) examined
the growth of skipjack tagged during 1955-1959.
