How is purse seine fishing done? As its name indicates, supported by a boat, the school or school of fish is surrounded with a net and closed with a purse at the bottom, under water, forming a net before being lifted onto the boat.
The tuna fishery using purse seine vessels in the waters of the current Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) began in the late 1920s (1927) with foreign vessels, incorporating national flag vessels from 1950, which they continue to use to this day. .
In this fishery, yellowfin tuna is intensively exploited, complementary to skipjack and bluefin tuna, and the technical, regulatory and operational efforts of the fleet to reduce and practically eliminate incidental mortality of dolphins have been successful.
The Official International Standards also establish the terms and conditions for fishing small pelagics, such as sardines, with vessels equipped with purse seines, in order to induce sustainable use of resources.
