Abstract
Bigeye tuna account for a relatively small proportion of the total tuna catch in the Pacific Ocean, but their economic value probably exceeds USD 1 billion annually. The preliminary estimate of Pacific-wide bigeye catch of bigeye for 2001 is 191,503 mt, slightly down on the record catch of the previous year (212,749 mt). In the WCPO, the 2001 catch was an estimated 115,392 mt, unchanged from 2000. The longline catch in the WCPO in 2001 increased to a record level (71,643 mt) while the purse-seine catch (24,133 mt) decreased by about 20% from the 2000 level.
