The Conservation and Management of Tunas and Their Relatives: Setting Life History Research Priorities
Scombrids (tunas, bonitos, Spanish mackerels and mackerels) support important fisheries in tropical, subtropical and
temperate waters around the world, being one of the most economically- and socially-important marine species globally.
Their sustainable exploitation, management and conservation depend on accurate life history information for the
development of quantitative fisheries stock assessments, and in the fishery data-poor situations for the identification of
vulnerable species. Here, we assemble life history traits (maximum size, growth, longevity, maturity, fecundity, spawning
duration and spawning interval) for the 51 species of scombrids globally. W
