2 Hawaii Tuna Tagging Project ( ) (archipelagic scale, conventional dart tags for bigeye and yellowfin tuna) Movement of bigeye and yellowfin within the Hawaii EEZ and between major fishing grounds. (exchange rates) Interaction direct gear interaction / concurrent interaction sequential or growth interactions spatially segregated interaction Exploitation rates and differential vulnerability (local fishing mortality) of tuna around seamounts and FADs Aggregation effects - retention rates of bigeye and
3 HTTP: objectives and outcomes 17,986 bigeye and yellowfin 53:47 ratio 12.6% overall recapture rate Bulk transfer model developed to describe tag loss by all means between offshore FADs/seamount, inshore areas and offshore LL fishery Estimated transfer (movement) rates Estimated size and species-specific M and F rates Calculated residence times and exploitation rates Provided a closer definition of fisheries and exploitation patterns

7 Meanwhile, changes in Hawaii-based tuna fisheries: A decline in effort in the surface fisheries for juvenile bigeye and yellowfin on the Cross Seamount and offshore weather buoys; The development and expansion of a deep-set short longline fishery on the Cross Seamount to target larger bigeye tuna and seamount associated pomphrets; An increase in the setting and exploitation of privately set FADs close to the main Hawaiian islands, primarily aggregating and harvesting sub-adult bigeye tuna; increased harvesting of very small yellowfin tuna from the inshore Hawaii State FADs; A steady increase in tuna longline effort by the domestic fishery due to conversion of swordfish effort and a steadily increasing number of hooks per tuna directed set. Increasing fuel costs
8 The HTTP 2: Justification HTTP concentrated on interaction issues relevant to the Cross Seamount and offshore weather buoy fishery (YF and BE) The Cross seamount handline fishery has evolved, shifting to short longline gear and multi-species targeting Nearshore issues relevant to Hawaii domestic fisheries remain unresolved Need to update movement parameters, M and F estimates and examine AREAS and SPECIES under-represented during the HTTP Lack of knowledge of skipjack resources when they may become increasingly important to local fisheries Continued uncertainty as to the connectivity of tropical tuna between Hawaii and the broader WCPO biomass
9 HTTP2: objectives 1) update estimates of fishing mortality (F), natural mortality (M) and movement parameters for yellowfin and bigeye tuna in Hawaiian waters while deriving initial estimates of M and F and movement parameters for skipjack. To include a continuation of existing PFRP tagging projects to define the typical home range for Hawaiian tuna using sonic, archival and PAT tags, with a greater emphasis on areas and species underrepresented during HTTP, i.e. bigeye tuna found around the main Hawaiian Islands and targeted by the private FAD fishery, and yellowfin and skipjack tuna on FADs and near shore aggregation sites, with increased emphasis on tagging unassociated or near shore bank associated tuna schools with both conventional dart and acoustic tags.
10 HTTP2: objectives 2) Document the FAD-associated temporal and vertical behavior of skipjack tuna. Using acoustic pinger and depth reporting tags on receiver equipped FADs with simultaneous releases with yellowfin and bigeye tuna to provide species-specific comparisons in mixed aggregations. 3) Determine the diurnal vertical behavior of bigeye tuna and lustrous pomphret (Eumegistis illustris) associated with the Cross Seamount. Using acoustic depth reporting tags on all three species in simultaneous seamount residence, which will require deployment of acoustic receivers on bottommounted acoustic release systems.
