Report of Feasibility Study on Skipjack Pole-And-Line Fisheries in the Micronesian Waters (PDF) (Report). Japan Marine Fishery Resource Research Center. 1977. pp. 1–26.

Abstract: This document is a report focusing on the feasibility study of skipjack pole-and-line fisheries specifically in Micronesian waters. Authored by the Japan Marine Fishery Resource Research Center, it covers the time period surrounding its creation date of July 4, 2003. The report examines the ecological systems associated with skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) and discusses the methodologies for assessing the viability of pole-and-line fishing techniques in the region. It provides detailed insights into the fishing practices, potential economic impacts, and sustainability considerations relevant to the fisheries sector in Micronesia. The document serves as a comprehensive resource for researchers and policymakers interested in fisheries management, marine ecology, and the socio-economic aspects of fishing in Micronesia. The report is structured to present findings systematically, likely including sections on methodology, results, and recommendations, although specific structural details are not explicitly stated in the provided content. The primary focus remains on Micronesia, with implications for local fishing communities and regulatory frameworks governing marine resources.
