  abstract = {{S}everal studies have shown that the school type at release can significantly influence the amplitude of the movements of a tagged fish. {I}n particular, it has been shown that seamounts can have a retention effect on tuna, suggesting that their migration patterns may differ significantly depending on the school type at release. {H}owever, many tuna releases near well-recognised mid-{A}tlantic seamounts have not been well coded in the {ICCAT}-{AOTTP} database. {I}n addition, the '{F}ree {S}chool' type modality was often assigned to individuals tagged or recaptured near a seamount. {T}his paper explored different criteria for identifying seamounts in the tagging database with the aim to correct the questionable coding of certain school types. {T}o do this, we first investigated how to identify "attractive" seamounts based on their morphology and the distribution of catch data from the {E}uropean purse seine fleet. {T}his conceptual approach led to several problems discussed in this paper and from which we proposed a simple recoding method using the literature results. {T}he correction criteria made it possible to correct the school type of 4.9% of several records of tagged tuna during the {ICCAT} {AOTTP} programme.},
