59% of tuna sold in us isn't tuna!, page-19

    Yes I do it's a nice tasting fish and it's very cheap. It's cheap because it grows fast and is perfect for farming. It's a huge success and stops other less hardy species from being over fished.

    Ravi, those stories are just local farmers feeding local people. Like comparing a Vietnamese village chicken farm to Steggles.

    The fish we get here come from multi-million dollar operations heavily monitored not only by local authorities but by Australian import standards.

    Don't listen to stupid so called current affairs shows, and you'll also notice that the articles having a go are all fishing sites trying to keep their businesses alive.

    Also, the OP about the Tuna is a little misleading. Those figures mostly to relate to Sushi restaurants in the US, using cheap substitutes to make money. All canned Tuna in Australia is Tuna, although some brands still use endangered species like the yellowfin or are caught on longlines.
    No oily anal excretions for us. Even the Black and Gold el cheapo brand here in NSW that I feed to my cat is environmentally caught skipjack tuna.
