Description
Steven Teo and Barbara Block compared tuna catches in the Gulf of Mexico, in PLOS ONE in 2010. The Gulf is the main western Atlantic spawning ground for bluefin tuna. Directed fishing for bluefin there has been banned since the 1980s, yet longlines set for other species still catch them.
The team related yellowfin and bluefin catches to water conditions. The two species answered the same ocean in different ways. Temperature and depth patterns that drew one did not draw the other. Those differences are practical: fleets can adjust where and how they fish to keep yellowfin while sparing spawning bluefin.
