Europêche is warning consumers to be aware of fraudulent labelling on tuna that makes false claims about the way it has been caught.
FADs are used for the vast majority of the tuna purse seine fleet and support thousands of livelihoods of coastal communities all over the world. In fact, 93% of the recent tropical tuna catch came from healthy stocks and a high proportion (more than 65%) of that came from fisheries using FADs.
