Bonitos are a tribe of medium-sized, ray-finned predatory fish in the family Scombridae. Also called the tribe Sardini, it consists of eight species across four genera; three of those four genera are monotypic, having a single species each. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonito)
The number of fish (recruits) added to the exploitable stock, in the fishing area, each year, through a process of growth (i.e. the fish grows to a size where it becomes catchable) or migration (i.e. the fish moves into the fishing area). (A Fishery Manager's Guidebook - Management Measures and their Application, Fisheries Technical Paper No. 424, FAO, 2002 (http://www.fao.org/docrep/005/y3427e/y3427e00.htm#Contents).)

Drying is a process in which the moisture content in the product is decreased to appropriate required characteristics under controlled hygienic conditions. (Adapted from FAO. 2012. Code of practice for fish and fishery products https://www.fao.org/3/i2382e/I2382E.pdf)

The integrated process of information gathering, analysis, planning, decision-making, allocation of resources and formulation and enforcement of fishery regulations by which the fishery management authority controls the present and future behaviour of interested parties in the fisheries, in order to ensure the continued productivity of the living resources.
