  abstract = {{T}he development of an ecosystem approach to fisheries management makes the assessment of the sustainability performance of fisheries a priority. {T}his study examines {E}uropean tropical tuna purse seine fleets as a case study, employing a multidisciplinary dashboard approach to evaluate historical and current sustainability performances. {T}he aim is to enhance comprehension of the interconnected dimensions of sustainability and pinpoint management policy priorities. {U}sing 18 indicators, we assessed the environmental, economic and social sustainability performances of {E}uropean tropical tuna purse seine fleets, comparing them with other industrial tropical tuna fishing fleets in the {A}tlantic and {I}ndian {O}ceans. {T}he analysis also explored the temporal trend of sustainability performance for {E}uropean tuna purse seiners from 2009 to 2019. {O}ur results suggest that, compared with gillnetters and longliners, purse seiners and baitboats have a greater species -based selectivity, thereby catching fewer endangered, threatened or protected species, but a lower mature tuna catch rate, thus capturing more juveniles. {W}e identify likely gaps in bycatch data reported by fishing on fish aggregating devices ({FAD}s), due to results regarding selectivity and discard rates that appear inconsistent in the light of the scientific literature. {T}he greater use of {FAD}s, likely caused by the global tuna market, by purse seiner seems result in decreased ecological performances, as suggested by an increased carbon footprint per tonne landed. {A}t the same time, it implies a better economic performance on the short-term, with higher net profit, energy efficiency (fuel consumed relative to monetary value created) and catch. {F}or our case study, {E}cology and {E}conomy might seem to be in conflict for short-term perspective. {H}owever, consideration of the long-term impacts of {FAD} fishing and market incentives for fishing on free schools should lead purse seiner fleets to reduce drifting {FAD} fishing and promote more sustainable fishing practices.},
