Resumo(s)
This study reports on the trends of small tuna catches from a tuna trap operating off the
southern coast of Portugal between 1996 and 2014. Landing and catch at size data from one
tuna trap were available for bullet tuna (Auxis rochei), Atlantic bonito (Sarda sarda) and little
tunny (Euthynnus alletteratus). Trends of intra- and inter-annual catches for the three species
were analyzed. Landings occurred mostly during the 2nd and 3rd quarters, with peaks in May
for A. rochei and in September for S. sarda and E. alletteratus. Catch at size data shows that
similar size ranges of the three species were captured.
