  abstract = {{S}kipjack ({K}atsuwonus pelamis), yellowfin ({T}hunnus albacares) and bigeye ({T}hunnus obesus) tuna are the target species of tropical tuna fisheries in the {I}ndian {O}cean, with high commercial value in the international market. {H}igh fishing pressure over the past three decades has raised concerns about their sustainability. {U}nderstanding life history strategies and stock structure is essential to determine species resilience and how they might respond to exploitation. {H}ere we provide a comprehensive review of available knowledge on the biology, ecology, and stock structure of tropical tuna species in the {I}ndian {O}cean. {W}e describe the characteristics of {I}ndian {O}cean tropical tuna fisheries and synthesize skipjack, yellowfin, and bigeye tuna key life history attributes such as biogeography, trophic ecology, growth, and reproductive biology. {I}n addition, we evaluate the available literature about their stock structure using different approaches such as analysis of fisheries data, genetic markers, otolith microchemistry and tagging, among others. {B}ased on this review, we conclude that there is a clear lack of ocean basin-scale studies on skipjack, yellowfin and bigeye tuna life history, and that regional stock structure studies indicate that the panmictic population assumption of these stocks should be investigated further. {F}inally, we identify specific knowledge gaps that should be addressed with priority to ensure a sustainable and effective management of these species.},
