It will also improve the accuracy of the information recorded and reported for species commonly caught in the IOTC tuna fisheries; and this in turn will improve the quality of information which the Commission will have to make management decisions.

Ce guide vise à les assister à enregistrer et à rapporter les données précises sur les espèces couramment capturés dans les pêcheries thonières de la CTOI; cela améliorera la qualité de l’information dont la Commission bénéficiera pouvant être utilisées à des fins de gestion.
