- Estimating spawning potential remains a key challenge for WCPFC tropical tuna assessments due to the limited availability of biological data, especially for bigeye and skipjack tuna. SC19 supported an EU-funded study initially on yellowfin, later expanded to bigeye and skipjack tuna, with WCPFC20 approving USD 44,000 co-funding toward the EUR 200,000 project starting in January 2024 and concluding with a final report in August 2026.
