Southwest Fisheries Center (U.S.), Honolulu Laboratory,

"A workshop on the status of the aku industry was held in Honolulu on April 30 and May 1, 1986 at which time the biological and economic causes and implications of the problems in the aku industry were explored. The conclusion of the scientists was that skipjack tuna were still plentiful, oceanwide, although they might be less available to nearshore harvesting in identified as important in reducing revenue to the aku fleet and construct new vessels. A summary of the workshop is appended to this report"--Intro.
