Tunas are among the most important marine fishery resources of the world, with approximately 4.2 million tons harvested in 2007. More than half of the world’s tuna catch is produced using tuna purse seine, making it the most important gear in tuna fishing industry. However, during the tuna purse seine operations, fishers need to apply techniques to gather the fish in order to obtain the maximum catch; i.e. fishing with the free swimming tunas, fishing tunas associated with porpoises, and fishing with drifting objects, e.g. Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs), etc. to attract the tunas and allow fishers to easily locate and catch the fishes.
