You can use the Project Search Tool below to browse over the staff’s research projects, including their brief summaries, that are currently under way, or planned for the near future and funded under the 5-year Strategic Science Plan (2019-2023). The summaries include, for each project, background information, a work plan, and a progress report, as well as details of its relevance and purpose, external collaborators, duration, and deliverables; also, for existing projects, an update on activities since the previous year’s report.
This information can also be found on the IATTC-98b-Staff activities and research plan. -

1 Project(s)01 Jun 2020 - 01 Jul 2023FundedObjectives:
- Determine the feasibility of echo-sounder buoy data to be used for developing alternative abundance indices for tropical tuna.
- Develop preliminary catch-independent abundance indices for tropical tunas.
- Evaluate the usefulness of these indices to inform and complement traditional stock assessment and other projects of interest for the Commission (e.g. MSE, habitat models).
- Explore the future availability of echo-sounder buoy data in the region for scientific purposes.
- Develop strategies and plans to improve the robustness of results and help interpretation.
- Recommend new feasible technological developments to buoy manufacturers.
