A new study published in AACL Bioflux (2025)<\/em> provides important insights into the seasonal migration patterns of eastern little tuna (Euthynnus affinis<\/em>) in the Makassar Strait. Using satellite-derived oceanographic data (sea surface temperature, sea surface height, chlorophyll-a) combined with catch records from 2019\u20132020, researchers applied the MaxEnt model to predict tuna habitat suitability with high accuracy (AUC = 0.877). The findings reveal that tuna catches were highest during transitional seasons (March\u2013May and September\u2013November), where optimal habitat conditions occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study highlights that eastern little tuna prefer waters with chlorophyll-a concentrations between 0\u20132 mg\/m\u00b3, sea surface height around 0.55\u20130.56 m, and sea surface temperatures above 29\u00b0C. These parameters drive habitat suitability, with transitional and northwest seasons showing wider fishing zones across the eastern Makassar Strait. Identifying such seasonal shifts is crucial for sustainable tuna fisheries management, reducing uncertainty for local fishers, and ensuring long-term resource utilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This research contributes to the achievement of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 2 \u2013 Zero Hunger, SDG 8 \u2013 Decent Work and Economic Growth, SDG 12 \u2013 Responsible Consumption and Production, and SDG 14 \u2013 Life Below Water).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
