Pacific countries involved in the albacore fishery want this year’s meeting of the Tuna Commission to live up to its commitment to establish a Target Reference Point for South Pacific Albacore.
The target reference point – or ideal level for the fish stock - is the first step from which all other rule-making takes its cue.
The Chair of the Forum Fisheries Committee Tepaeru Herrmann raised the need to decide an albacore Target Reference Point with the Executive Director of the Tuna Commission Feleti Teo as part of the preparation for this week’s meeting in Honolulu.
