Tuna is in every aspect like no other farmed fish. The wild caught Tuna are gently towed from the fishing ground to the holding pens.
After having been carefully transferred into the tuna pens the huge and incredibly beautiful fish are nursed for like no other species.
Not only are the tuna a lot bigger than other farmed fish species – they are also very delicate and so need to be handled gently. Even small cuts or bruises can ultimately cause that the fish will not survive.
Weighing everything from 50 to 800 kg – even losing just “a few fish” is not an option.
The tuna fish’ behavior inside the cage is circling inside the net often following exactly the same path.
