From page 109...
... The committee recommends that NOAA/NMFS use alternative methods of data management, data analyses, and peer review for estimating abundance indices, movement rates, and mixed population assessments (as discussed in Chapters 3 and 4 of this report)
From page 110...
... Such knowledge is essential in defining population genetic structure and useful for refining stock assessments. The committee recommends that the one-stock hypothesis be tested rigorously, using the most appropriate technologies capable of detecting contemporary population genetic structure.
From page 111...
... The committee recommends that a tagging program be undertaken, with an appropriate combination of conventional, PIT, acoustic, and archival tags to provide improved estimates of the magnitude and patterns of movement. This program should be designed to answer scientific questions pertinent to stock assessment and should be coordinated among all nations involved in the bluefin tuna fishery.
