Longtail tuna (Thunnus tonggol) is a neritic species that supports commercial, artisanal and recreational fisheries throughout the Indo-Pacific region. Historically receiving little attention by commercial fisheries, the global annual catch of longtail tuna has steadily risen from around 30,000 t in the early 1980s to exceeding 200,000 t since 2004, reaching a peak of 291,264 t in 2007, and was 281,613 t in 2017. Catches of longtail tuna in the Indian Ocean now exceed catches of principal commercial target species, such as albacore and bigeye tunas. A sequence of stock assessments undertaken throughout the species’ range since the late 1980s persistently indicated that at least three of the four stocks defined in this paper are likely to have been, and most likely are currently, subject to overfishing and overfished as a result of excess fishing effort on this relatively slow-growing and long-lived tuna species. As the spawning biomass of principal tuna target species continue to decline in both the Indian and western and central Pacific Oceans, the increasing catches of longtail tuna, other neritic tunas, and seerfishes is worrisome. Few conservation and management measures (CMMs) are currently in place specifically for longtail tuna, although in recent years some coastal States, Regional Fishery Bodies, and tuna Regional Fisheries Management Organisations have begun to develop initiatives to improve the catch and biological data quality for longtail tuna and sympatric species of neritic tunas and tuna-like species. This paper provides a global review of biological, ecological and fishery information to provide researchers, fishery managers and policy makers with the most current information from which to begin to guide future stock assessment and the development of CMMs for longtail tuna.

长尾金枪鱼，Thunnus Tonggol（Bleeker，1851 年）：全球人口动态、生态、渔业以及未来保护和管理考虑因素的回顾

长尾金枪鱼 (Thunnus Tonggol) 是一种浅海物种，支持整个印太地区的商业、手工和休闲渔业。历史上很少受到商业渔业的关注，全球长尾金枪鱼年产量从 1980 年代初的约 30,000 吨稳步上升到 2004 年以来的超过 200,000 吨，2007 年达到峰值 291,264 吨，达到 281,613 吨。印度洋长尾金枪鱼的捕捞量现在超过了长鳍金枪鱼和大眼金枪鱼等主要商业目标物种的捕捞量。自 1980 年代后期以来在整个物种范围内进行的一系列种群评估持续表明，本​​文定义的四种种群中至少有三种可能已经，而且很可能目前，由于对这种生长速度相对缓慢和寿命较长的金枪鱼物种过度捕捞，导致过度捕捞和过度捕捞。随着印度洋和西太平洋和中太平洋主要金枪鱼目标物种的产卵生物量继续下降，长尾金枪鱼、其他浅海金枪鱼和海鱼的捕捞量增加令人担忧。目前很少有专门针对长尾金枪鱼的保护和管理措施 (CMM)，尽管近年来一些沿海国家、区域渔业机构和金枪鱼区域渔业管理组织已开始制定举措以提高长尾金枪鱼的捕获量和生物数据质量金枪鱼和同域的浅海金枪鱼和金枪鱼类物种。本文对生物学、
