Scientific Reports

ISSF scientific research reports are available to download in PDF format. We hope you find them valuable, and we appreciate your support of our work.

The covers of our reports include suggested citations to make it easy to cite ISSF reports in your own research. Many of our reports are resources for fishery improvement projects (FIPs). 

An asterisk at the end of a research report title indicates that older versions of a frequently published report are available. If you would like to request an older version of a report, write to us at [email protected].

Description

If purse-seine fishers could more accurately identify the species, size, and number of tuna as well as non-tuna at fish aggregating devices (FADs) before fishing operations begin, they can avoid overfishing and reduce bycatch.

ISSF’s at-sea scientific research and publications on acoustic technology and information to better discriminate tuna species, and fish more selectively, are summarized on this infographic, updated in March 2021.
