Effects of biological, economic and management factors on tuna and billfish stock status
Abstract: Commercial tunas and billfishes (swordfish, marlins and sailfish) provide considerable catches and income in both developed and developing countries. These stocks vary in status from lightly exploited to rebuilding to severely depleted. Previous studies suggested that this variability could result from differences in life-history characteristics and economic incentives, but differences in exploitation histories and management measures also have a strong effect on current stock status. Although the status (biom…

“…1 )). These finding are consistent with recent work showing that stocks with management in place were less likely to be over exploited 11 . In these countries over time F/F MSY has declined in line with increases in HDI and possibly with socio-economic responsibilities towards overfishing.…”

“…These findings agree with Pons et al. (), who showed that when strong management controls like quotas are enforced, this could lead to a faster rebuilding of tuna and billfish stocks. However, we acknowledge that fisheries management interventions are not exogenous to stock status, limiting our ability to establish causal relationships.…”

“…Our results bolster previous research that has found positive relationships between management interventions and stock recovery (Hilborn et al, 2020; Juan‐Jordá et al, 2022), yet these studies have been unable to make causal claims because of limitations in research design (Melnychuk et al, 2013, 2021; Pons et al, 2017, 2018). Random forests have been used in previous studies examining the importance of various management measures on stock status.…”
