  • Based on preliminary figures the overall purse seine fishing effort was stable in Nov and fishing intensity (fishing days/calendar day) marginally declined. Note that monthly figures get adjusted as NFDs are processed.
  • While overall effort was broadly stable, total purse seine catches (EEZs+HS) decreased in Nov by 11% as overall catch rate declined but were still well up (52%) on Nov ’22, marking 3 consecutive months of relatively high catches.

Key trends:

  • Preliminary figures indicate that overall purse seine fishing effort rose in December, with fishing intensity (fishing days/calendar day) increasing to the highest level in 2022.  Note that December figures may be adjusted as NFDs are processed.

  • Total purse seine catch (EEZs+HS) fell in Dec, down by around 14% on the November catch.  Catch and effort remained concentrated in the west, with PNG and FSM collectively accounting for around 64% of total catch.
