“…In reality, despite the dynamicity of marine fisheries, climatic change, global warming, and various biotic and abiotic factors could alter tuna migration, food availability, catch rate, and stock indices, all of which are related to habitat [45,56,58,60,80]. Determining the precise mechanism(s) underlying suitable habitat is challenging; additionally, whether the interannual distribution shifts of species are mainly associated with other ocean-climate factors, prey abundance, or even another factor like fleet behavior [81] remains unclear. Hence, indirect habitat modeling using diet composition indicators (e.g., small pelagic fish, crustacean, and squid) and historical changes in hotspot habitat resulting from empirical habitat suitability models, such as that of the present study, and advanced modeling of population dynamics [82] could also be suggested as further research areas for the implementation of regional EBFM in the SAO.…”
