The Resolution emphasizes IATTC's responsibility for conserving and managing tunas in the Convention Area, focusing on North Pacific albacore. Stock assessments show stable spawning stock biomass levels and effective fishing effort limits, considering potential ecosystem changes. Management objectives aim to maintain spawning stock biomass above the Limit Reference Point and total biomass around historical averages, with defined reference points and acceptable risk levels. Regular stock assessments every three years are recommended, along with the adoption of harvest control rules by 2023, emphasizing collaboration with the International Scientific Committee for Tuna and Tuna-like Species in the North Pacific Ocean and promoting compatibility with other fisheries management organizations' strategies.
