Humberto Becerra Batista, Vice President of the National
Chamber of the Fishing and Aquaculture Industries (CANAINPESCA), said
the tuna season will begin shortly. The tuna fleet will be fishing for
yellowfin tuna, bigeye tuna, and bluefin tuna.
Becerra said the tuna fleet is about ready to sail and
the industry is expecting a good season. He noted that last season
closed with a good catch, which portends well for this season.
He added that the U.S. ban on purse seine vessels flying
the Mexican flag, which was imposed last November, will expire on
January 18th.
The Vice President said that Mazatlán is the largest
port in México for off-loading tuna. There are 30 vessels in the tuna
fleet affiliated with CANAINPESCA.
