2.2 Quarterly Data Submission to RFMO (Click here for reporting template in Excel) | ISSF recognizes that the tuna Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) are responsible for tuna conservation and management with the objective to maintain the populations at levels of abundance that can support the average maximum yield on a sustained basis. | |
Gear Type: All | Adopted: January 27, 2009 Amended: October 20, 2015 Amended: October 18, 2016 Amended: October 24, 2018 Effective: January 27, 2009 |
However, the scientific findings of the RFMO scientific bodies depend on the completeness and accuracy of the supporting data available to them. ISSF is committed to support the RFMOs to ensure that their findings and the data underlying them are as accurate and complete as possible.
A. Round fish (includes gilled and gutted, and headed and gilled and gutted) unloading from Fishing Vessel B. Round fish (includes gilled and gutted) unloading from Carrier Vessel (Transshipments) 2. Weight of catch (in metric tons) by commercial species/size categories should be compiled from immediate pre-processing data or from unloading data/outturn reports. The size classes shall reflect commercial gradings used by the processor, with the following suggested minimum breakdowns:
Species separation for skipjack, yellowfin and bigeye should apply to all size breakdowns, unless practical considerations limit this separation in the smallest size classes (e.g. < 3 lb. or < 4 lb.), in which case the report should indicate the species mix. 3. Submission of these data for each quarter shall be done by the last day of the following calendar quarter. Submissions shall be done by electronic mail to the appropriate tRFMO scientific bodies whose contact information is available by clicking this link. Starting with the reports corresponding to the fourth quarter of 2019, submissions shall use the format available by clicking this link. |
