"The tuna fishery in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) is comprised of foreign flagged purse seine, pole-and-line and longline vessels and RMI-flagged purse seine and longline vessels. Most of the foreign flagged longline vessels operate in support of domestic development activities and are based locally. With a new purse seine vessel joining the fishery in 2009, total catch of the national fleet operating throughout the Western and Central Pacific Ocean was 44,342 mt, an increase of around 27% compared to the previous year. There was also an increase in catch from the national longline fleet however the increase was not as pronounced. Overall catch estimates from licensed foreign fleets operating in the RMI EEZ in 2009 amounted to just over 20,000 mt with 76% of the catch attributed to the purse seine fleets and a majority of the catch comprising of skipjack tuna."
