Greenpeace: Catching Tuna Maldivian Style is More Sustainabl

Greenpeace: Catching Tuna Maldivian Style is More Sustainable Globally, tuna stocks are heavily over fished. But the fishermen in the Maldives, catching their skipjack by pole and line, are giving the tuna in their waters a future as only fish of a certain size are caught, leaving juveniles to grow to spawning age and replenish the stock in the future. Available video includes views of tuna fishing by pole and line, tuna being prepared for consumption, cannery production lines and in a supermarket.Greenpeace: Catching Tuna Maldivian Style is More Sustainable Globally, tuna stocks are heavily over fished.

@aviomaster

may be: but if you come to work for 7 $ a day, we will change from net to line fishing since we need 10 more people

[aviomaster]

NET fishing should be banned. THIS system is much much better.

[topherhoffmanchris]

Full respect to the guys line fishing man that looks like hard work - hardly any bycatch too thats gotta be good. Really though it's not the guys fishing making the big decisions - they're just trying to feed their families most the time. If there were better labelling around how fish are actually caught, and public pressure for sustainable fisheries, surely that would help ensure we don't run the stocks (further) into the ground? Or they could just ban these other methods (maybe even enforce)..

@spidercrab1234 are you saying that the ones in the video are small ones? those are skipjack tuna, not bluefin or yellow fin, skipjacks only grow to a max of 2 feet long and 20-30 pounds.

@WhiteGangster400 actually they have done this with large tuna usually 3-4 men on one fish though.

@spidercrab1234 Those are skipjack tuna and don't get much bigger than that.....Thats a pretty average adult size for those.
