  abstract = {{I}n 2018, a total of 14 {F}rench vessels operated in the eastern {I}ndian {O}cean including 12 purse seiners and 2 supplies. {T}he total capacity weighted by the months of activity for each vessel is 11686t. {T}he total nominal effort in 2018 was of 2885 fishing days and 2723 sets with 2463 sets on floating objects and 260 on free schools. {I}n 2018, the percentage of sets on {FOB} was 90% and the catches reached 91%. {T}he total catch of the {F}rench component of the {EU} purse seine fleet of the {I}ndian {O}cean was 84,729 t, being composed of 36%, 58%, and 6% of yellowfin tuna, skipjack tuna, and bigeye tuna respectively. {T}hus, the most noticeable change in 2018 is the shift of catches from the free school sets, dominated by yellowfin, to the associated school sets, dominated by skipjack. {A}s a consequence, the increase in total catches mainly concerned the skipjack catches.},
