  abstract = {{T}o reduce catches of juvenile bigeye and yellowfin tuna, while maintaining skipjack catches under drifting fish aggregating devices (d{FAD}), we analyzed spatiotemporal distributions of d{FAD} catches by {E}uropean purse seiners in the {E}astern {A}tlantic {O}cean during 1996-2019. {T}o detect hotspots of juvenile d{FAD} catches, we: identified periods of maximum abundance using a seasonal sub-series diagram; normalized monthly {FAD} catches per unit effort; and used emerging hotspots analysis on spatiotemporal density. {T}wo main spatiotemporal strata were identified in the {G}uinean {G}ulf, which could be used to establish moratoria on d{FAD} fishing. {T}hese spatiotemporal strata differed from the existing {ICCAT} moratorium, which spanned a larger part of the {A}frican coast. {O}ur findings also indicated that time-area closures of d{FAD}-fishing lasting 3-4 months in smaller areas could be more effective than the current d{FAD} moratorium to reduce unwanted bycatch in the {E}astern {A}tlantic region. {T}he two metrics we developed for comparison provided clear and measurable evidence that demonstrated how strategic and data-informed moratoriums can lead to substantial improvements in conservation.},
