Report of Feasibility Study 1977 on Skipjack Pole-And-Line Fisheries in the Micronesian Waters (the Palau Islands and the Marshall Islands) (PDF) (Report). Japan Marine Fishery Resource Research Center. 1977. pp. 1–29.

Abstract: This document is a feasibility study report focused on skipjack pole-and-line fisheries in the Micronesian waters, specifically the Palau Islands and the Marshall Islands. It covers the time period of 1977. The report discusses the ecological systems associated with skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) and evaluates the potential for sustainable fishing practices within these regions. It examines the existing fishing methods, environmental conditions, and socio-economic factors influencing the fisheries. The study aims to assess the viability of expanding skipjack fisheries in these areas, providing insights into local fishing practices and resource management. The report is structured to include an analysis of the current state of fisheries, recommendations for future development, and considerations for legal frameworks governing fishing activities in Micronesia. The findings are intended to inform stakeholders, including local governments and fishing communities, about the opportunities and challenges associated with skipjack fisheries in the specified regions.
