Purse-seine yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) catch and effort data and satellite monthly
composite images of the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) derived sea surface
temperature (SST) were used to examine the relationship between the aggregation of yellowfin and
the distribution of SST in the eastern tropical Pacific during the period 1995-2003. Monthly catch
per unit effort (CPUE) values were calculated as the catch in metric tonnes/number of fishing days
in a 1º latitude x 1º longitude grid and used as the relative abundance index. In total, 33,542 purseseine yellowfin CPUE data were used. Results obtained allow establishing the SST range between
26ºC and 30ºC as the “preferred” thermal range for yellowfin tuna in the eastern tropical Pacific,
and the SST range between 28ºC and 30ºC as the most favorable SST range of yellowfin fishing
success. The consistent occurrence of yellowfin tuna in the relatively shallow mixed surface layer
(≈40-50 m) of homogeneous temperature predominant in the eastern tropical Pacific suggests that
the “preferred” SST range for yellowfin found in this study may be representative of the optimal
thermal habitat of this species.
