Abstract | In recent years, Electronic Monitoring Systems (EMS) have been progressively tested and implemented in tuna fisheries as a complementary tool in scientific observer programs. All tuna Regional Fisheries Management organizations (t-RFMOs) are now developing minimum standards that can be used as guidelines to fulfil specific fisheries management measures in each area of competence including Regional Observer Scheme (ROS) requirements. The first EM standards for Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) were discussed in WGEMS meetings and were adopted in 2023 based on previous RFMOs and countries experiences. Each tuna fishery willing to use EMS including purse seiners in the Indian Ocean is now invited to follow the minimum standards for data collection that were proposed in Resolution 23/08. However, with the diversity of fisheries, vessel configurations, programs advancement and the limits of the method itself, EM minimum standards monitoring goals (which are initially based on ROS onboard observation programs) may be challenging to fulfil. |
