Abstract: This study is based upon analyses of 13,000 daily catch returns of skipjack tuna, Katsuwonus pelamis, submitted by the live bait and pole fishing boats in Papua New Guinea. A strong correlation exists between lunar phase and bait catch, withfull moon periods producing considerably lower average dailyaaaaa catches (51.4 buckets for full moon periods compared with 64.1 buckets for new moon ; P = 0.007). More skipjack tuna fishing days were lost due to the failure to catch bait during full moon periods (11.8)than during periods of new moon (6.8). Average daily skipjack tuna catches show little variation from one moon phase to another (2,878 kg per day for new moon and 2,690 kg per day for full moon ; P = 0.592). A curvilinear relationship of the type (x)= a(1 - e-bx)exists between skipjack tuna catch and bait catchesare not as beneficial per unit as smaller ones. Possible benefits of keeping a fraction of large bait catches for use on another day are discussed.
