Description Tunas are highly valued food fishes, targeted by
neritic water fisheries and distant water fishing
nations. Global tuna production has been estimated
to be around 4.3 million tonnes (t) in 2005. The
contribution by the Indian Ocean tuna fisheries was
22% of the total tuna production of 1.2 million t.
The rapid expansion of the tuna fisheries in the
world oceans, especially the long line fisheries (both
ordinary and deep long lining), purse seine fisheries
(both log-associated and free school) drift gillnetting
(oceanic and neritic), longlining employing
converted trawlers, pole and line fishery and sport
fishery (angling) urgently necessitated a
compendium on the present status of tuna fisheries in the global scenario. It is in this context that the
book “Tuna-Fishery, Biology and Management” has
been prepared by N.G.K. Pillai and P. Satheesh
Kumar (222 pp) and published by CMFRI (2014).
