Abstract

This Resolution of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC), concerns regular and timely reporting of fisheries information from vessels at sea. It requires all purse-seine vessels which carry an on-board observer to transmit to the IATTC Secretariat a weekly report by the observer, by fax, e-mail, or radio, as appropriate. The report transmitted shall be prepared by the observer, using a format provided by the IATTC Director, and shall include the estimated catch of tuna, by species and set type, and the mortalities of dolphins by stock. The Resolution in addition encourages fishing companies to cooperate by providing to the Secretariat this same information with respect to purse-seine vessels which do not carry on-board observers.
