Yellowfin Tuna were sampled onboard the vessels by observers of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC, 2004). Fish were randomly subsampled from purse-seine sets immediately after capture, and date, position, and sea-surface temperature (SST) were recorded for each set that yielded samples. Observers measured fork length of the fish, removed samples of white muscle tissue from the dorsal musculature adjacent to the second dorsal fin and stored them at about -20 degrees C until processed further in the lab. Data is in matrix format where each row represents one YFT.
