  abstract = {{T}ropical tuna purse-seine fisheries spatially co-occur with various megafauna species, such as whale sharks, dolphins and baleen whales in all oceans of the world. {H}ere, we analyzed a 10-year (2002-2011) dataset from logbooks of {E}uropean tropical tuna purse-seine vessels operating in the tropical {E}astern {A}tlantic and {W}estern {I}ndian {O}ceans, with the aim of identifying the principle environmental variables under which such co-occurrence appear. {W}e applied a {D}elta-model approach using {G}eneralized {A}dditive {M}odels ({GAM}) and {B}oosted {R}egression {T}rees ({BRT}) models, accounting for spatial autocorrelation using a contiguity matrix based on a residuals autocovariate ({RAC}) approach. {T}he variables that contributed most in the models were chlorophyll-a concentration in the {A}tlantic {O}cean, as well as depth and monsoon in the{I}ndian {O}cean. {H}igh co-occurrence between whale sharks, baleen whales and tuna purse-seine fisheries were mostly observed in productive areas during particular seasons. {I}n light of the lack of a full coverage scientific observer on board program, the large, long-term dataset obtained from logbooks of tuna purse-seine vessels is highly important for identifying seasonal and spatial co-occurrence between the distribution of fisheries and megafauna, and the underlying environmental variables. {T}his study can help to design conservation management measures for megafauna species within the framework of spatial fishery management strategies.},
