SPAR, EUROSPAR and INTERSPAR stores will sell \u2018natural\u2019 and \u2018in sunflower oil\u2019 varieties of tuna from the PNA skipjack tuna free school purse seine fishery from this month.<\/p>\n
The PNA fishery operates in eight developing nations in the South Pacific Region that control 50% of the world\u2019s skipjack tuna supply, including the Federated States of Micronesia, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Tuvalu.<\/p>\n
Every fishing trip is 100% monitored and documented by independent, third-party observers, who verify catch and bycatch. In addition, effective measures have been taken by the fishery, including restrictions on the use of Fish Aggregation Devices (FADs), tuna catch retention, mesh regulations, in port transhipment, and prohibitions on setting nets on whale sharks.<\/p>\n
