It would have been nice to see a paragraph about why the catch is up.  The headline suggests that it's because Americans are eating more seafood in turn driving fishermen to fish harder on an 'overfished' stock.  In fact, CPUE was high the last two years largely in part due to a massive recruitment event 3-4 years ago.  In 2012 - 2013 ocean conditions and other factors resulted in a massive amount of small tuna being born and surviving.  A few years later those babies now weigh 80-100 lbs and there's a lot of them.  This was discussed at the Council meeting, but not reported here.  It's important to understand the science that informs the management.  Catch will likely come back down in the coming years as is the pattern with these high recruitment event.  It's also important to note that new stock assessments for bigeye will be coming in 2017.
