Historically, whenever tuna was hauled ashore, the sounds of battle
were never far away. 'Tuna Wars' tells the untold story of the
power struggles emerging around tuna, from the distant past to your
present-day dinner table. In the ancient past, the giant tuna was
the first fish to become the basis of a large-scale industry and a
'global' trade that created fortunes: Hannibal was able to finance
his elephant campaign on Rome thanks to tuna. From the Middle Ages
on, a tuna fishing monopoly on Spain's southern coast allowed the
nobility to completely dominate the area and even lead the
'invincible' Armada. When the markets for tuna increased
exponentially thanks to technical advances, tuna eventually became
a billion-dollar business and one of the most-consumed fish species
worldwide. But this massive expansion came at a price. An 18th
century monk in Madrid was the first to warn that tuna fisheries
needed to be run sustainably for the sake of future generations.
And the issue of sustainability would go on to become a
game-changer in the modern tuna wars, characterized by new
alliances and partnerships, hybrid warfare and commercial power
struggles. In addition to accompanying you through the history of
tuna and sharing insights into fisheries science and approaches to
sustainably managing fisheries, Tuna Wars offers practical guidance
on choosing sustainably fished tuna. In short, it will tell you
everything you ever wanted to know about tuna, but were afraid to
ask.
