“…The higher value of FL and L max can be as a result of the permanent food availability in the study area throughout the year as compared with other areas. Hassler and Hogarth (1977) observed a decrease in the food rate for the species distributed in the western region in the North Atlantic as a result of water temperature below 23°C and rates of zero values below 18°C.…”

“…Los trabajos anteriores mencionan que el nuevo anillo se forma por la disminución de la temperatura durante el invierno. Al respecto Hassler & Hogarth (1977) señalan que Coryphaena hippurus es muy sensible a los cambios de temperatura los cuales afectan su tasa de alimentación, misma que disminuye por debajo de los 23°C y cesa a 18°C. En zonas tropicales es de esperar un crecimiento continuo debido a una tasa de crecimiento alta y la disponibilidad de alimento durante todo el año (Uchiyama et al 1986).…”

“…Species of these two categories (other tuna and bony fish) make up between 81 and 95% of the by‐catch and are known to be fast growing and have early sexual maturity and high fecundity (e.g. dolphinfish: Hassler and Hogarth ; Oxenford ; wahoo: Maki Jenkins and McBride ; rainbow runner: Pinheiro et al . ).…”

Is it good or bad to fish with FADs? What are the real impacts of the use of drifting FADs on pelagic marine ecosystems?

The use of fish aggregating devices (FADs) by purse seine fisheries has come under increasing criticism for its potential deleterious impacts on tuna stocks, for high levels of by‐catch and threats to the biodiversity of tropical pelagic ecosystems. Here, we review the current state of scientific knowledge of this fishing technique and current management strategies. Our intent is to encourage objective discussion of the topic and highlight areas worthy of future research. We show that catching juvenile tuna around FADs does not necessarily result in overfishing of stocks, although more selective fishing techniques would likely help obtain higher yield. Levels of non‐tuna by‐catch are comparable to or less than in other commercial tuna fisheries and are primarily comprised of species that are not considered threatened. Accordingly, to minimize impacts on ecosystem balance, there is merit in considering that all species captured in purse seine fisheries (excluding vulnerable species such as turtles and sharks) should be retained, but the consequences of such a measure should be carefully examined before implementation. The take of vulnerable species could be further reduced by introduction of additional mitigation measures, but their potential benefits would be limited without parallel efforts with other gears. Finally, there is no unequivocal empirical evidence that FADs represent an ‘ecological trap’ that inherently disrupts tuna biology although further research should focus on this issue. We encourage RFMOs to expand and improve their FAD management plans. Under appropriate management regimes, FAD fishing could be an ecologically and economically sensible fishing method.
