Hawaii longline tuna fishery temporal trends in standardized catch rates and length distributions and effects on pelagic seamount ecosystems

Study Type:

wild

Location:

Pacific

Target catch:

Tuna

Effect on bycatch species:

Reduced sea turtle interactions likely due to use of circle and not J hooks

Effect on target catch:

All tuna species had higher catches rates when wider circle hooks were used. Shortfin spearfish and striped marlin catch rates were lower with circle hooks. No differences in average length between hook types.
