Abstract

This Resolution of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC), recognizing the need for a basin-wide rebuilding plan for Pacific bluefin tuna and a precautionary long-term management framework for the stock and associated fisheries, strengthening scientific cooperation and coordination between IATTC and WCPFC for the adoption of harmonized conservation measures for bluefin and bigeye tunas, and applying harvest control rules during the second rebuilding period based on the results of stock assessments and SSB projections to be conducted by the International Scientific Committee for Tuna and Tuna-like Species in the North Pacific Ocean. The Resolution also concerns urging all IATTC Members and Cooperating Non-Members (CPCs) involved in this fishery to participate in a fair and equitable manner, and without exceptions, in the discussion and adoption of a harvest strategy applicable to the stock throughout its entire range.
