HONOLULU, Hi. -- The public is invited to attend the Fishers Forum on Hawai'i yellowfin tuna and North Pacific striped marlin and view a sneak preview of 'Ahi--The Yellowfin Tuna.'

This short documentary focuses on the importance of the species and research on the local stock that may have important management implications. This family friendly and free event will be held Oct. 21,2014, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Harbor View Center at Pier 38, 1129 North Nimitz Highway (above Nico's restaurant).

This Fishers Forum is presented by the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council and will focus on two fish that are very popular with consumers in Hawai'i: yellowfin tuna ('ahi) and striped marlin (a'u or nairagi).

The Fishers Forum will include a discussion of options for minimum size of yellowfin and bigeye tuna for commercial fisheries operating in federal waters around Hawai'i. It can be difficult to distinguish the two species when they are juvenile. The discussion will include federal, State and fishing representatives. Click here to view agenda.
