Kiribati - We chased it for 5 days, but as dawn broke over the Pacific this morning we finally confronted the biggest tuna fishing vessel in the world. The Spanish-owned and flagged tuna purse seiner "Albatun Tres" is known as a 'super, super seiner' and can net 3,000 tonnes of tuna in a single fishing trip. This is almost double the entire annual catch of some Pacific island countries.

You used how many gallons of gas to chase down that boat only to drape a banner in the water? What a huge waste of time and resources.
Leggo My Ego You are a Muppet. Well done Greenpeace!

Which one? I hope it's Kermit the Frog.
The real problem is there are too many people in the world. They should go to Africa and give away free condoms and force people to use them.
When all the tuna is gone, they will catch sardines.
good catch boys freaking greenpeace
Stop messing with my lunch.
@manifestgtr Oh wow, man.
Seriously, take a look at some of the science out there. ICATT's own scientists warned them that their fishing was totally unsustainable, and then they went ahead and set the quota at twice the amount their scientists had reccomended.
Tuna's in big trouble. I urge you to do some research on this.
nice video by Greenpeace.
can't stop fishing tuna baddy!!!
I had the privilege to see this Greenpeace boat in Kodiak. Everyone that worked on it smelled of doo doo and had fleas in their dread locks.
tuna tastes so good, especially tuna sashimi!
dude i love tuna!!
After watching that video, it's tuna on the grill tonight for this fish lover!!@#@#@!!
Nice one guys. We are behind you.
wow-that is extreme
wicked i love tuna .....
Yumm...I am going to open a can of tune right now. With lemon, salt and tabasco sauce
@thomaskomen I don't know where you get your info, but I bet you read it on some greenpeace website. Last time I split a tunas belly it was full of roe at a lot smaller size. And for your info sushi is pole caught or long lined. And lately they've been farming Blue Fin. Again I say stop the demand!
I agree.
and how mutch fuel did greenpeace use to catch up with the fishing vessel?
Don't matter it was donated
i have to watch this for school...smh
@sarcophyllus Can't find the website :)
Tuna start spawning when they reach about 4- 41/2 lb. These guys are catching way bigger size than that. So how many times have they've spawned by say 40 lbs and up?
Since it's a fishing vessel, GOM OM NOM, is appropiate :D
@netxposeidon Hi! I agree with you but if you recall, in 1992, the cod fishery in Newfoundland collapsed, and over 40 000 people lost their jobs. As a result, 12% of the population emigrated to other parts of Canada. If conservation action had been taken, then the population wouldn't have depleted to such low levels. Please have respect for nature, she gives us everything that we have.
@sarcophyllus I thank you very much.
oh wow the fishing vessels really need rocket launchers.
Tuna sounds good right about now!
I am a commercial fisherman. This large-scale fishing is going to ruin the ocean.
Thats dolphins safe tuna for you! In fact most people dont realize that the dolphin safe tag will soon be the end of bigeye tuna in the Pacific! If you want to do it right eat "line caught albacore" American Albacore is one of a few labels to look for.
Demand is high, as Tuna taste good. More people are learning about how "fishy taste" is not aways a bad thing and learning to appreciate the 'fighting strip' as well as the light meat in a Tuna. Look for ways for both to survive, humans who depend on Tuna and Tuna who need to breed and get big.
damn fish huggers
How could they possibly know how many fish are left. I know there is no way that Greenpeace could know that.
@dickylobster fair enough, they arent the most practical, definite fishing quotas need to be set up on the commercial fish species, and people quarrel with me for spearfishing, the spearfishermen do little damage in comparison even to line fishermen
Say goodby to that school of tuna
wow
An endangered whale then spotted the banner at the surface thinking it was a food, and died from ingestion.
While I dissagree with Greenpeace hassling, I do beleive they need to rethink and protect the natural resources.
For example a female tuna can produce up to 10 million eggs in a spawning season, I noticed the average size of the Tuna fish in their net looked on average weight of being 10-20 lbs.
That would mean these are barely last years season of spawned tuna.
Is anyone in the fishing industry giving any thought to wild fish stocks regeneration? Watching this proves that no-one in the industry is thinking about the future.
+librandancer They are only thinking about profits today. Shortsighted thinking.
@Jazzmanpac you already said that
I just don't understand why greepeace doesn't try to stop sharks brutally killing defenseless animals, it would make just as much sense as this IMO.
well put. its tough to do when the short term loss is so tangible to families and individuals but we need to keep the long term vision at the forefront of our decision making.
Indeed. its not sport fishing causing the problem, its these giant tankers.
so you agree with them about the importance of this problem, but not the methods they use to bring about awareness of such a problem?
One well placed torpedo can solve the problem very easily.
Mmmm more tuna for me :D
Makes me hungry!
Agree, ships of that size shouldn't be allowed under International waters laws, could be stopped cut them off via import/export taxation.
Most people don't realise, ships of that size catch all types of fish, not just a tuna fleet, or a flounder or cod vessle they are a fishing boat, and they will target all markets.
This is dangerous to competition since they are able to control market prices, and thus knock out competition.
Taking full economic control over pricing.
I am not a "hipster" and I love tuna... ;)
don't you think it makes more sense to reduce the amount of times the ships go out than to say 'must be scrapped immediately'. I don't see why they just can't raise the price of tuna and fish less. I wouldn't mind paying more for tuna and hence eating it less.
albatun tres is my is my dream tuna vessel that I wish to work with. I keep sending my cv and application I haven't got any answer from them. I hope my wish will soon be realized
No you are right, there wasn't huge vessles, but, there were THOUSANDS of times the fisherpeople. This is what you don't understand.
@ManicParroT i am gonna go make a tuna fish sammmich right now
This is how commercial fishing is killing the global ocean.
we live in an over populated world where people waste more than they use, the fault lies with each and every one of us.
You guys are lucky I am not the captain of that vessel... you would not get within 1000yds of me.
Educating ppl and getting them to change their eating habits, slowing down on the tuna consumption, switching the interest from tuna to another species....I doubt any of that will save the tuna population. Yellowfin and bluefin tuna are very crucial to the eco system in the sea (that's not what's in this video though)... however, I would say that, when it comes to commercial fishing, these big vessels and their owners that really care about the resources they're gradually wiping out, it's all...
Damn hippies
The vessels is still fishing in Indian ocean
Love that Tuna!! Everyone should have some at least twice a week.
damn right it is, so get your fill before its all gone..
When you thought people couldn't get more selfish--
will, the vidio clearly sayes thay were disapointed there plans for a more affective action were imposible on this ocasion.
Sadly ecosystems don't work on the same basis as economic systems, theres levals below which thay can't recover from.
yes....well its not the most important problem in the world at the moment of course. but it seems to be a problem and i think some people should try to fix it, but with different methods, thats right.
theres still the same amount of fish
...and the Greenpeace ships are going with diesel fuel. :D :D
Great!!!
@trouter2 ups - better twice than non - thanx :)
Teach a man to fish, and with the right loan package he can make a fortune.
mmmmmm i love tuna
Man, that is one fabulous ship. Now I know why tuna is so affordable. Now if we do as Greenpeace suggests then it is them we will have to blame when tuna is $5.00 a can or blame them should the world go hungry. When the catches are less and less and it becomes unprofitable for them they will not use such large ships. To think that fishing will wipe out all tuna does not give tuna any credit for their survivability and is illogical on its face.
Hay treehuger any suggestions on how to feed the worlds6 billion mouths??????
Is that the best greenpeace could do?
+librandancer If You tell them someting over the LHC and a black hole they tell You we only save animals ...
they save them by coming to late and driving around in plastic boats - this makes them hungry and than they maybe eat a tuna sandwich ;)
green peace people are always mad they don't know for what actually they doing this, because out of total fish catch from sea , 60% are farmed only 40% direct vach, n even farming rate increasing rapidly, so this is not a problem at all
I'm eating tuna as I watch this.
save money on banners and buy some torpedo, make sense the hundred of gallons of gas u used to chace them
Of course you would have to take the crew off first, then retrain them for some other job! hows that? We all cuddly feel good now?
we will never learn and were meant to be the smartest living fiings the world has ever seen. yet we cant see whats before our very eyes
MrTabby: The oceans have been and are being overfished to the point that marine ecosystems are dying. Checkout the Grand Banks ecosystem for example. On the west coast of Canada I have seen ling cod, salmon and red snapper be commercialy exterpated in just the last 20 years. If we take too much out of the oceans then the oceans will die, are dying, have died in some places.
Why don't people get it?
@masterkronixster 71.1% water
Delicious Tuna we will enjoy it soon。。。。。。
hmmmmmmmmm leave the tune for me then. more tuna for me! hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Tuna Sushi hmmmmmmmmmmmm
The ocean is very vast and Tuna lay more eggs... No need to worry..
Good for you... I think we agree then, the answer is not as easy as Greenpeace makes it seem. Easier and more powerful to stop the killing of dolphins, eh!?
Nooooooooooothey have to stop
Your comment is awesome...
if humanity runs out of food clean water and thought thats alot to deal with
That is one amazing vessel you got there...
it's absolutely horrifying. we must all work together to put a stop to this massacre.
12 years have passed a
Has anything changed for better ?
but in a way they r providing food for people .. if they will not catch many people will go hungry .. this issue is very sensitive.
@youareabite maybe eel sharks rays and skates hake. but tuna, halibut, salmon, and halibut? yea right.
I'm not spam. Just looking out for our kids.
@failurbanik Thanks for your Bro-tip logic there mate.
- Their population does not grow, its the whole point of over fishing, we are consuming fish so quickly we have outstripped their replacement rate.
- Tuna are not fully mature until around 5 years yet we harvest over 60,000 tonnes per year, despite scientists arguing for limits as low as 7,500 tonnes per year.
- If current trends continue large numbers of fish species will collapse.
I'm for the extinction of trolls. There's LOTS of them. And none know how to spell.
People, stop to eat tuna!
The price of tuna is getting higher.
I will eat sushi tonight.
One has to argue, is it better to try and save the tuna? Or accelerate its extinction? Because if Tuna is destined to be fished to extinction, is it not more compassionate to introduce a disease to them that will kill off their species so the suffering of slaughter will be spared to tens of millions more tuna?
Greed is the human way and governments look t other way...hope their children n grandchildren suffer in future devastating environments of dead plants seas....Muckers...Scumbaggs of t seas
i think commercial tuna fishing should be done with the poles not huge nets like this. this way doesnt really leave room for next generations haha
it doesn't matter. bluefin tuna stocks are at a critical level and are continually being overfished at an unsustainable rate each year. these fish will disappear from the ocean in the next 10-15 years. by the way, the greenest form of fishing is rod and reel, bar none.
THAT is where our technolgy comes in. Just as there is a way to give the Salmon a way out of Pollock nets from factory ships in Alaska, there is a way to do this. I don't have the solution but I do know that if we put money into research and track ideas we will save the Tuna Fisheries from destruction.
greenpeace doing nothing as usual, like why waste the fuel going there to take photos?
give the fuel to sea shepherd
yummie
Versenkt dieses Fischereischiff auf der Stelle !!!!
