In order to clarify the difference on reproductive traits of female skipjack tuna between fish aggregation device (FAD) and free-swimming (Free) school, we examined the relative condition factor and sex ratio, minimum size at first maturity and spawning fraction in tropical western and central Pacific Ocean. The relative condition factor in developing (FAD: 1.00 +/- 0.06, Free: 1.05 +/- 0.07) and spawning capable phase (FAD: 1.01 +/- 0.06, Free: 1.04 +/- 0.06) was higher in the freeswimming school than those in the fish aggregation device school (p < 0.01). The proportion of mature fish was significant difference between each schools (p < 0.05). The sex ratios in the schools were not biased (p > 0.05). Observed minimum size at first maturity were 40.0 cm FL in FAD and 42.5 cm FL in free-swimming school. Spawning capable fish were observed year around in FAD and for seven months in free-swimming school. The estimated total spawning fractions based on the postovulatory follicle method were 0.50 and 0.49 in the FAD and free-swimming schools, respectively. These results suggested that differences in the school type did not affect inherent spawning characteristics (i.e. sex ratio, minimum size at first maturity, or spawning season) and may shortly affect the oogenesis throughout the food availability.
