-75 FISIfRY POTENTIALS IN TI.IE TROPTCAL CENTRAL AND IYESTERN PACIFIC R.E. Kearney South Pacif ie Commigsion Nournea, New Celedonia ABSTRACT In defining the topic it is assunEd that descriptign of a fishery potential requires rnore lhan jtnt identification of a resource, while at the same tirne acknowledging that there cen be no potentials for development without appropriate resouree bases. The major fish regources of the tropical central and western Pacific are therefore described end development options for Pacific Island states are discussed in the light of the special problems relevani to this region. The known fishery resources of the tropical central and western Pacific are divided into four categoriesr f) freshwater end shallow coastal resources, ineluding aquaculture; 2) deepwater nearshore nesources; 1) deepwater offshore resources; end 4) offshore pelagic resources. Because of the dominaLion of present catches by the hiqhly migratory tuna and billfish species incorporeted in category 4, discussion is concentrated on the potential' for further development and management of these resourcee. Recent ssessrEnLg of the skipjack lesources in mly part of the tropical Pacific suggest a standing stock in excees of three million tonnes. Yellowfin, albacore and bigeye tuna, and the runeroug billfigh species combined represent further Nghly migratory neaources of considerable magnitude. Recent developrnents in purse-seine technology have seen the landings geer type change significantly with a relat.ive decline in the importance pole-and-line and longline fishing. Diatenl water fiahing nations continue dsninate catches from within the rcgion with catches by the United States Anerica mw being seeond mly to those of Jryan. Pacific Island atates preeently tnve anly limited ability to participate in the extensive fiaheriea for tunag in the tropical Pcific. However, r€cent international ecceptance of increased jurisdiction has greatly enhanced the potential for increeeed involvement in thege fisheries. INTRODUCTIOi.I Bounded in the wast by the Philippines, Indonesia 8nd northern Auetralia, and in the eart by ryproximately l)0oW, the tropical central and western Pacific Oceen, encompesses an arsa of rmre then 41 million square kilometres, a epproximately eight per c€nt of the anrfsce of the earth. Lying within lhig area are the 2l developing Island countries and territoriee for which the South Pcific Cqnmiasion (SPC) workg. The bagic aimilaritiee smongat the runprous gmall developing leland statee within the 29 million square kilometres of the SPC area and the contrast between theEe and the larger bordering nations bege differentiation between the two when considering fishery potentials. Only the potentials of the Island ststes are conaidered here. by of to of
