Other Tunas 



The numbers of bigeye, albacore, and skipjack taken during 1953 

 were too small to warrant detailed analysis. As a whole (fig. 10) they 

 were similar in size to our past catches on the longline in the equatorial 

 central Pacific. About 90 percent of the bigeye were 122-172 cm. in 

 length (85-232 lbs.), of the albacore 91-103 cm. (36-51 lbs.), and of 

 the skipjack 70-81 cm. (18-29 lbs.).
