3MMI - Uncovering Albacore Tuna Deception on the West Coast

[@wayneheikkila8508]

Great video and pretty much spot on! However US and Candians also have a troll(hook and line) fishery in the South Pacific ocean Dec - March which is far south and catch similar albacore that they catch in the North Pacific. About 10-15 boats take part and usually haul their loads back to the west coast. The problem is within the South Pacific longline fishery that fish in more tropical waters - nations such as China catch albacore and are heavily subsidized. That fish for the past few season has destroyed the local markets on the west coast as stated in the video... Wayne Heikkila Western Fishboat Owners Association

north and south pacific are the exact same population in different stages of their life history.
