tuna fisheries

Tuna fisheries involve catching tuna fish from the ocean for commercial purposes. Tuna are highly valued for their meat, used in products like sushi and canned tuna. These fisheries operate through methods such as purse seine nets, longlines, and traps, often targeting specific species like bluefin, yellowfin, and skipjack. Sustainable management is crucial to prevent overfishing, protect tuna populations, and maintain healthy ocean ecosystems. Regulations, quotas, and international agreements help ensure that tuna fishing remains balanced and environmentally responsible, supporting both the industry and marine conservation efforts.
