Description Global catches of skipjack tuna have been steadily
increasing since 1951, reaching a peak in 2009 at 25, 99,681 t
(Fig.1). Most of the catches were reported from the fishing
areas 71, 51, 61 and 34 (FA0, 2011). Globally skipjack
tuna is caught at the surface, mostly with purse seines and
pole and lines and to a small extent by gillnets, troll lines
and longlines. Gears like purse-seine and very long gillnets
enabled few nations to augment their production, whereas
traditional pole and line nations suffered heavily.
