374,000 tons, accounting for 64% of the total output in Europe, ranking second in the world after Thailand

According to this research report on the economic, social and environmental impacts of the canned tuna industry, the canned tuna industry is globalized, and consumer access to information about the species, its conservation and fishing areas is scarce and unregulated
.
.
Food systems are becoming regionalized and internationalized, and canned tuna is no exception, says Patricia Reglero, a researcher at the Balearic Islands Oceanographic Center of the International Oceanic Service
.
Consumers are ignorant of the long journey tuna goes to canning, making it difficult for them to make informed and responsible decisions

According to the study, when a person eats canned tuna, they may be eating different types of tuna: bonito (Katsuwonus pelamis), yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) or bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus), these are the most caught marine species, especially striped belly tuna
.

Tuna underpins a large global industry dedicated to extraction, distribution, processing and consumption, with Spain being the leading producer in Europe and the second largest in the world
.
.
Unlike fresh tuna, canned tuna is more leniently regulated, the study noted, with European governments requiring labels to provide nutritional information and shelf life, but not to specify information such as species, region and harvest method
.
.
The study highlighted that some canning companies and distributors provided information that went beyond the above requirements
.
.
There are 678 large tuna purse seine-registered fishing vessels worldwide, 28 of which fly the Spanish flag
.
.
Spanish fishing vessels operate mainly in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, with the main ports of landing being Seychelles in the Indian Ocean, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal and Cape Verde in the Atlantic Ocean, and Ecuador in the Pacific Ocean, and other ports such as Madagascar and Samoa have been added in recent years
.
.
Regarding the conservation status of tuna species, the report noted that, with the exception of bigeye and yellowfin tuna, tropical tuna are in good condition, but some areas have exceeded the maximum sustainable development level
.
Scientists pointed out that while tuna fishing is managed and its conservation monitored, there is "completely insufficient" information

They are calling on consumers to have this data that will truly allow them to make responsible decisions about the origin, fishing methods and conservation status of the species they consume
