Sustainability
Our Yellowfin Tuna is caught in the South East Atlantic, which are migratory fish that live for a long time and are commonly seen in mixed schools with other tuna species in open oceans. Prized for sashimi, it is frequently offered in restaurants.
Pole fishing or polling are used to catch our yellowfin tuna. Rigid poles (2-3 meters) are tied to a feathered jig with a barbless hook attached by a small amount of line in this form of fishing. Pole and line fishing is a very selective form of fishing with low bycatch and discard rates and no detrimental influence on benthic ecology or the environment.
