Background Tuna, bonitos & billfishes Reported catches in the different oceans: 6.8 million t in 2011 (0.6 in the Atlantic) Atlantic & Mediterranean Tuna, Small Tuna and Billfish Production declined during the period 1994-2008 followed by an increasing trend; in the Indian Ocean there has been a recent decline (piracy); in the Pacific, catches stabilized around 4.6 million t since 2006. 4

Background 5 major Tunas Reported catches in the different oceans: 4.5 million t in 2011 (0.46 in the Atlantic) World Tuna catches have been stabilized ~ 4.4 million MT since 2003 5

Background Reported catches in the ICCAT Convention Area • Overall, reported catches in the ICCAT Convention Area peaked in the 1990s and have generally been in decline over the past decade • 2009 marks the beginning of a recent reverse of this trend 7

Background Reported catches in the ICCAT Convention Area • SKJ is the cause of the recent increase in catches: 140,000 to 240,000 from 2008 to 2012 8
