tuna fishing

Tuna fishing involves catching tuna, a popular and commercially valuable fish found in warm ocean waters. Fishermen use various methods, including longlining, purse seining, and rod-and-reel fishing. Longlining employs a main line with baited hooks strung out over large distances, while purse seining involves encircling schools of tuna with a large net. Due to overfishing concerns, regulations are in place to manage tuna populations, including catch limits and specific fishing seasons. Sustainable practices are encouraged to protect both tuna species and the marine ecosystem, reflecting the balance between industry and conservation.
