Tuna catches per kg of bait fish were high during the last quarter of moon and low during newmoon phase. Efforts in both bait fishing and tuna fishing and catehes-per-unit-of-effort of bait fishes and tuna were highest during newmoon phase, then decreased gradually and was lowest in the last quarters.
