MALDIVES SKIPJACK TUNA FISHING

Pole and line fishing for skipjack tuna, particularly in the Maldives, is a sustainable fishing method that involves attracting tuna with live bait and then catching them one at a time using a hook and line attached to a pole. This technique is known for its low bycatch and minimal impact on the environment. Here's how it works: 1. Live Bait: Small fish, known as live bait, are caught and kept alive on the fishing vessel. 2. Attracting Tuna: The live bait is thrown into the water behind the boat to attract skipjack tuna. 3. Hook and Line: Fishermen use specialized poles with a hook and line to catch the tuna as they bite at the bait. 4. Selective Catch: The method allows for the selective catching of tuna, one at a time, minimizing the impact on other marine species. 5. Sustainability: This method is considered highly sustainable due to its low bycatch and ability to minimize pressure on tuna stocks. Benefits of Pole and Line Skipjack Tuna Fishing: Environmental Friendliness: Low bycatch and minimal impact on marine ecosystems. Socioeconomic Impact: Provides employment for local communities and supports local economies. High-Quality Product: The method allows for the careful handling of the fish, resulting in a high-quality product. Traceability and Transparency: Enables the tracking of the fish from catch to consumer, promoting transparency in the supply chain. In the Maldives: The pole and line method is a traditional and vital part of the Maldivian fishing industry and culture. It is a primary source of livelihood for many in the region and contributes significantly to the local economy.
