Eight Pacific Island nations met in late April with the aim of tightening tuna conservation measures.
The eight nations are known as Parties to the Nauru Agreement (PNA) and control an area which contains 25 percent of the world's caught tuna.
Transform Aqorau said that the focus of the meeting was conservation. He said that there were too many days available for fishing and that there were too many vessels in the region.
He said that the goal was to reduce the number of fishing vessels and the number of days they can fish.
"Increasing revenue by cutting the number of boats and days of fishing will increase the value of the fishery," he said.
Countries in the PNA are Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia, Kiribati, Nauru, Tuvalu and the Marshall Islands.
