		The dominant species are dolphinfish (29.8 percent), tunas (25.3 percent), and wahoo (13.0 percent).
		Data from the fishing industry is collected randomly through a combination of enumeration and sample surveys at selected artisanal landing sites; data for the offshore fleet (industrial and semi-industrial) is collected from their export and domestic sales records.

		Dolphinfish, Coryphaena hippurus, is one such species that is heavily commercially exploited by numerous Caribbean countries and forms an important part of the recreation fisheries of the United States, Mexico, and most Caribbean nations.
		Because dolphinfish does not adhere to the assumptions of traditional stock assessment, a different approach, one that improves the capabilities of a model suitable for a highly migratory species, should be investigated.
		The goal of this research is to improve the understanding of the abundance in time and space of a migratory fish species through spatial interpolation and stochastic modeling of environmental attributes and the application of geostatistical analysis for the description of spatial patterns and identification of scales of variability.

		Dolphinfish were also collected from around FADs off Sydney and Port Stephens for analysis of sex-ratio, stomach contents, age and spawning period.
		Abundance and biomass of dolphinfish were higher at offshore FADs in summer and autumn, with biomass at offshore FADs 13 times greater than inshore FADs in autumn.
		As large catches of dolphinfish are frequently made at FADs, two females are caught for every male, and limited information exists to estimate dolphinfish stocks, establishment of a recreational bag limit would be a conservative management option.

	About
		When you combine the dolphinfish's aggressive feeding behavior, brilliant coloration, its abundance and top quality as a food-fish, it is easy to understand why it is considered one of the world's foremost gamefish.
		In its annual surveys of subscribers, SaltWater Sportsman magazine consistently found dolphin to be the most popular offshore gamefish along the United States' Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Prior to the mid-1990s, dolphin were almost wholly harvested by recreational anglers and were the primary creel component sustaining an important offshore sportsfishery.
		Utilize as many experienced offshore fishermen who have participated in previous tagging studies of marine fish as possible to mark and release 1,000 dolphinfish off the east and Gulf coasts of the US in each of two years, 2006 and 2007.
