Although tuna is found in all major bodies of oceanic water except the polar seas, the majority of the global tuna supply comes from the Pacific Ocean — which accounts for 2.
The rest of the commercial tuna sold around the world comes from the Indian Ocean Albacore tuna is another type of tuna commonly found in a can or pouch. The label will clearly state albacore and is sometimes referred to as white tuna.
Because of its mild flavor and white flesh sometimes with a hint of pink , albacore is a premium variety of canned tuna. Like all other tuna species, albacore tuna is rich in many nutrients including heart-healthy omega-3 oils. Albacore is also a particularly sustainable seafood option. Also like other species of tuna, Albacore tuna is highly migratory and is found throughout the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans and the Mediterranean Sea.
Albacore caught in the Pacific Ocean are an important source of canned tuna. Albacore tuna can range up to 4. The maximum lifespan of Albacore in the Atlantic is 13 years, while it is only 9 years in the Mediterranean. Bigeye tuna is mild in flavor and is not a main source of canned tuna. Bigeye is found in the open waters of all tropical and temperate oceans, but not the Mediterranean Sea.
These tuna vary in length between ft. They feed on a wide variety of fishes, cephalopods and crustaceans during the day and at night. In the Atlantic Ocean, the record for the largest Bigeye tuna caught recreationally is a pound, 6 ounce fish caught off the coast of Puerto Rico.
Love a tender, delicate piece of tuna sushi or sashimi? In this update, the status of seven commonly fished tuna species was reassessed and there was good news for four of them. Both albacore and yellowfin tunas went from being Near Threatened to Least Concern. The update emphasised the need to ensure conservation is a global effort as many regional tuna populations are still suffering. Yellowfin tuna also continue to be overfished in the Indian ocean.
Other marine creatures are also facing the impacts of climate change, habitat loss and overfishing. The IUCN update found that nearly 40 per cent of sharks and rays are now threatened with extinction.

Current management Commercial fisheries in New Zealand are managed under a Quota Management Scheme QMS , allowing a quota owner continued rights to catch a certain quantity of fish.
The text following is extracted from 'Sustainable management of longfin eels' June - The Ministry of Primary Industries MPI places a high priority on sustainably managing this stock on an ongoing basis, responding to any new, credible information that arrives.
They are: The number of elvers of each species arriving annually at each of the 11 monitoring sites around New Zealand is collected, providing an index of "recruitment strength" for the river systems.
Catch per unit effort information is collected from commercial fishers by species and area. These sets of information undergo detailed analysis in a four-yearly cycle. The results from the last South Island one are just about to be presented to a technical working group, and the next North Island one will begin later this year.
Commercial eel processors report on the type and weight of eels received and what catchment they are from. Market The New Zealand eel fishery has both a domestic and export market. References and further reading Beentjes, M.
