WORLD TUNA DAY
On May 2, World Tuna Day is an annual event that takes place on May 2. The day emphasizes the importance of sustaining fish stocks. With proper oversight, it's likely that the world has measures in place to prevent tuna stocks from crashing.
More than 96 countries are involved in the conservation and management of tuna, which has a annual value of nearly ten billion dollars. Every year, about 7 million tons of tuna and tuna-like animals are imported.
The species has been nearly extinct in areas of the world, over-fishing of some tuna species, such as the southern bluefin tuna, has caused the species to near-extinction.
Chop, light meat in water is the most common canned tuna. Light meat (in water and oil) accounts for 75% to 80% of annual canned tuna intake. The remainder, on the other hand, is albacore, or white meat..
