The Conservation and Management of Tunas and Their Relatives: Setting Life History Research Priorities
Figure 10
Venn Diagram of life history research priorities in scombrid species.
We differentiated between life history data-poor and data-rich species (see definition in main text), between species targeted and non-targeted by commercial fisheries (see Table S1), and between species listed as Threatened, Near Threatened (NT) and Data Deficient (DD) from those listed as Least Concern in the IUCN Red List (See Table S2). Threatened species are those listed as Critically Endangered, Endangered, and Vulnerable in the IUCN Red List. Enclosed box illustrates scombrid species with the highest priorities for life history research. (*) Highlights the principal market tuna species.
