  abstract = {{U}sing a genetic marker mitochondrial {DNA} control region, {N}ikolic et al. ({E}nviron {B}iol {F}ish 99:171-178, 2016) recently reported the identification of two juveniles of tuna as skipjack ({K}atsuwonus pelamis) recovered from the mouth of dolphinfish in the vicinity of {R}eunion {I}sland, western {I}ndian {O}cean. {B}ased on the age estimates of the two specimens from opercular bones at about 16-20 days and the increased occurrence of skipjack in the catch of {J}apanese longliners during {O}ctober-{J}anuary, the authors indicate that their results suggest a specific seasonal spawning area of skipjack around {R}eunion {I}sland. {W}e challenge the validity of age estimates and the interpretation of the results published by {N}ikolic et al. ({E}nviron {B}iol {F}ish 99:171-178, 2016). {C}urrent knowledge of skipjack tuna biology indicates that the paper of {N}ikolic et al. ({E}nviron {B}iol {F}ish 99:171-178, 2016) contains misinterpretation of field observations that led the authors to misunderstandings on skipjack tuna ecology.},
