Tuna is a beloved fish for consumers and can be very lucrative for fisherman. Only a short time ago, tuna fishermen were out at sea for long periods of time before they catch a tuna, but now, to combat this stifling of industry, many fisherman have started using industrial tuna fishing methods. The technique is for a couple ships to encircle a large group of tuna and catch them all together. Using this method, the fisherman can catch nearly three thousand fish in a single swipe (Swiper, no swiping).
Many older tuna fisherman are seeing a decrease in the amount of tuna in the wild.
The tuna fishing business was a family one, so when these older fishermen were younger they were expected to take on the family business. However, now many tuna fishermen do not expect their children to be fishermen as well, because the methods of tuna fishing have changed and there will not be enough tuna for them to sustain themselves on.
