Synopsis (short abstract) This technical paper reviews world tuna fisheries, including fishing operations, stock conditions, management measures and socio-economic aspects of the tuna industry such as recent changes in processing, trade, marketing and consumer preferences. It concludes that, because of the recent rapid increase in competition among fisheries, species, industries and even products (sashimi/fresh tuna versus canned), the most important and most urgent issue is how to manage and allocate tuna reso urces among these competitors (e.g. using fishing capacity control measures and/or catch allocations). In order to achieve this objective, it is imperative that socio-economic and ecological considerations are integrated into decision-making processes alongside capacity and allocation issues. Although this study does not address the broad socio-economic importance of the tuna industry to the countries in which it operates, this type of research will be necessary in the future in orde r to solve current fishery management problems.

These Proceedings include the report and papers presented at the Methodological Workshop on the Management of Tuna Fishing Capacity – Stock status, data envelopment analysis, industry surveys and management options, which was hosted by the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission in La Jolla, California, United States of America, from 8 to 12 May 2006. It also contains a statement prepared by the participants and presented at the Meeting of Tuna Regional Fisheries Management Organ izations held in Kobe, Japan, in January 2007. The purpose of the workshop, organized in collaboration with tuna agencies and programmes, was to develop quantitative methods to determine the desired magnitude of or desired change to fishing capacity on the basis of the status of stocks. The outcome of the workshop is relevant for the work of these organizations and their member countries, providing technical assistance in managing tuna fishing capacity.
