Overview Sustainability and Management Goals Regional Fisheries Management Organizations for Tuna Stocks Trends and Status of Tuna Stocks

Classifying the Scientific Study of the Sustainability of Fisheries Classical Sustainability (through 1970s): Population models without environmental variability Biological reference points Modern Sustainability (1980s-1990s): Population models with environmental variability Harvest control rules and the precautionary approach Post-Modern Sustainability (2000s): Extends sustainability concepts: Uses ecological & socioeconomic indicators Develops an ecosystem approach to management Quinn and Collie (2005. Phil. Trans R. Soc. B. 360: 147-162)

Types of Objectives for Fisheries Management Biological: Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) Fishery Yield Indicator Economic: Maximum Economic Yield (MEY) Industry Profit Indicator Societal: Maximum Job Yield (MJY) Employment Indicator Political: Minimum Sustainable Whine (MSW) Ecosystem Preservation Indicator “Whine” meaning “to complain to political powers” Hilborn (2007. Marine Policy. 31: 153-158)
