World Tuna Day
Tuna is a group of marine fish of the Smokbrian family
World Tuna Day, celebrated on May 2, was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly resolution in December 2016, in order to increase the awareness of the world's population about the value of this species of fish, the threats faced by tuna populations, and on the economic and social benefits of sustainable management of tuna stocks. The co-authors of the draft resolution are 93 states.
In nature, there are about 40 species of tuna, which vary greatly in size and weight.
The smallest representative is mackerel tuna - about 50 cm in size and weighing 1.8 kg.
And the largest representative of its kind - ordinary tuna - can reach a length of up to 4.5 m and weigh more than 600 kg.
Inhabit tuna in tropical and subtropical waters of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans. But they can be found in more temperate latitudes. In search of food, these schooling pelagic fish travel long distances. Their diet consists of crustaceans, mollusks and fish. In addition, they can accelerate to 90 km / h.
Tuna is an important commercial object, and they are also appreciated among amateur anglers. According to the UN, currently more than 80 states are engaged in the fishing of these fish, in all oceans there are thousands of tunnels, the fastest growing in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
The tuna fishery is aimed at meeting the needs of the canning industry and cooking. Tuna has become one of the most beloved and sought-after marine delicacies today. The meat of this fish, eaten raw, fried and canned, is valued for its delicate taste, complete absence of foreign odors, high protein content and a huge range of useful properties.
In addition, many countries, both developing and developed, depend heavily on tuna resources not only in terms of food security and nutrition, but also economic development, employment, public incomes, lifestyle, culture and leisure.
However, due to overfishing, environmental threats from human activities and the effects of climate change, the number of populations and habitats of tuna has declined significantly in recent decades, which has placed some tuna species on the brink of extinction.
Therefore, the UN, and in particular the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), provides control over marine fisheries and takes measures to protect and conserve valuable resources of the World Ocean. After all, 16% of the world's fish stocks are currently being over-caught, and 8% - significantly depleted. And the most actively exploited tuna stocks.
So, in 1995 the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries was introduced. It sets standards for fishing, which should not harm the flora and fauna of the seas and oceans. Recommendations include the abandonment of fishing methods and gear that damage the ecosystems of the seas and oceans, limiting fishing, and taking measures to replenish the fish population. For example, one of the outputs in this situation is aquaculture, that is, artificial cultivation and fattening of tuna in specially designed for these purposes paddocks.
Today's date - Tuna Day - is an occasion to pay attention to the conservation of fish resources of the planet and to share the best practices in this area. The UN invites all Member States of the organization and other international and regional organizations and generally civil society to properly celebrate this Day in accordance with national priorities in order to raise awareness of the value of tuna, the threats faced by tuna populations and the economic and social benefits of sustainable management of tuna stocks.
