    • Bluefin Tuna Commercial Domestic Landings

    Metadata Updated: May 24, 2025

    All commercially landed bluefin tuna must be reported to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) so that NMFS can ensure the fishery stays within the U.S. quota. Bluefin tuna are internationally managed under the binding recommendations of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). The United States receives an annual bluefin tuna quota and may be penalized if the quota is exceeded. Landings data are also used by U.S. and ICCAT scientists to estimate the status of the resource. Data elements include dealer, dealer permit number, date of landing, port, vessel name, vessel permit number, fish length, fish weight, gear type.
