Description

Abstract: Albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga) is a highly migratory species found worldwide in temperate seas. Albacore caught off Oregon belong to the North Pacific stock and are generally juvenile or sub-adult fish that have not spawned. During their trans-Pacific migrations, vessels of several nations, including the United States, Canada, Taiwan, and Japan, target albacore. The United States West Coast fishery harvests this stock during the summer and early fall months.
