Daily Data

Bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) is one of the commercially important pelagic species that caught mostly in the eastern Indian Ocean. This species prefers to stay close, and is usually below the thermocline layer. Remotely sensed data was used to determine the characteristics of Bigeye tuna fishing areas at a depth of 155 meter. Fishing vessels for Bigeye tuna were obtained from vessel monitoring systems (VMS) from January through December, 2015-2016. Daily data on sub-surface temperature (SST), sub-surface chlorophyll-a concentration (SSC), and sub-surface salinity (SSS) were obtained from the INDESO Project website. All oceanographic parameter data were selected at a depth of 155 m. The position of Bigeye tuna and oceanographic data were then grouped into 2 group monsoon, southeast monsoon (April – September) and northwest monsoon (October – March). The results showed that, during the southeast and northwest monsoon, Bigeye tuna mostly found in SSC of 0.03 – 0.05 mg/m3, SST of 16° - 18°C and salinity of 34 psu. These results showed that at depth of 155 m, Bigeye Tuna prefers to stay in small chl-a (0.03 – 0.04 mg/m3), low SST (16° - 18°C) and salinity of 34 psu. These information were essential and could be used to support fisheries management decisions especially for Bigeye Tuna in the eastern Indian Ocean.

Bigeye tuna is an important fish resource in the Indian Ocean. This species like other tuna species needs to be managed properly in both national and international levels. Therefore some data and information on population structure and bioreproduction are required for management purpose. The current research was conducted to identify the population structure and bioreproduction of bigeye tuna (<em>Thunnus obesus</em>) in west off Sumatera and south off Java and Nusa Tenggara of Indian Ocean where tuna fishing spots are important. This research was based on catch landed by fishermen from the Indian Ocean during 2010. Analysis of population structure was done using DNA genetic analyses and bioreproduction by using histology technique. Results show that the population structure of the bigeye tuna in the Indian Ocean consisted of two different sub populations namely sub population of west off Sumatra and sub population of south of Java and Nusa Tenggara waters. Most of catch (about 39%) was categorized as immature fish (GI I). The immature fish was mostly found in west off Sumatera waters, meanwhile the catch in south off Java and Nusa Tenggara waters was mostly categorized as mature fish. This result may indicate that south off Java and Nusa Tenggara waters is a spawning ground of the bigeye tuna.
