  abstract = {{G}hanaian industrial tuna fisheries data covering the period 2006-2013 were analyzed following guidelines provided during the {ICCAT} preparatory meeting for the 2015 assessment of bigeye tuna ({T}hunnus obesus; {BET}). {T}o account for differences in fishing strategy and quality of data sources available, the fleet was split between a component of large purse seiners and a component composed of baitboats and purse seiners that can collaborate at sea. {F}irst, the total {T}ask {I} was derived from information on landings and logbooks for the first and second fleet components, respectively. {S}econd, the monthly proportion of catch and spatial distribution on a 5°x5° grid were derived from logbook data with some necessary assumptions when data were missing. {T}hird, species composition of the catch was estimated from the size samples collected onboard {E}uropean purse seiners from fishing sets made on fish aggregating devices based on three processing areas. {B}igeye represented about 15% in the ‘offshore’ area while its percentage in the catch was about 7-8% in areas closer to the shore during the same period. {S}ize samples collected by {MFRD} during 2006-2013 showed that the distribution of bigeye caught by {G}hanaian vessels differed from that of {E}uropean purse seiners on {FAD}s.},
