Tuna Farming

Tuna farming, also known as tuna aquaculture, is the practice of raising tuna in controlled environments, such as floating pens in the ocean. This method aims to provide a sustainable source of tuna, a popular and heavily fished species, to meet global demand while reducing pressure on wild populations. Farmers typically begin by capturing juvenile tuna and then feeding them a specially formulated diet to promote growth. This practice faces challenges like disease management and environmental impact, but it offers a potential solution to overfishing and helps ensure a stable supply for consumers.
