No evidence from long- term analysis of yellowfin tuna condition that Drifting Fish Aggregating Devices act as ecological traps

Résumé

Human-induced habitat modifications can severely impact the biology and behavior of wild species. Drifting Fish Aggregating Devices (DFADs), used by industrial purse seine tropical tuna fisheries, significantly increased the number of floating objects found in the open ocean, to which tropical tuna associate. This habitat change raised concerns over the risk of modifying the behavior and altering the biology of tuna and other associated species (the so-called ecological trap hypothesis). Relying on a time-series from 1987 to 2019 of more than 25,000 length-weight samples collected in the western Indian Ocean, we reject the hypothesis that the body condition (Le Cren’s relative condition factor Kn) of yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) decreased concurrently with the increased number of DFADs. This result suggests the absence of negative long-term impacts of DFADs on the condition of tuna. As other factors may have counteracted possible negative effects of DFADs, we recommend a long-term monitoring of habitat, biological and behavioral parameters of tunas to detect any critical change.
