Shake up for Asian tuna

摘要

About 65 percent of a global tuna catch totalling four million tonnes and worth US$5.5 billion comes from the Pacific: a region rich in natural resources and home to a tuna migratory path that sits between the Indian and Atlantic Oceans.Historically the most prolific tuna canning countries in the region have been the Philippines, the Seychelles — home to a John West site - and islands like American Samoa, where the majority of US canned tuna brand StarKist is still caught and packed.
