The Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission announced yesterday that the season for catching tuna would end November 18 and remained closed until January 18, 2015.
The tuna caught in the Mexican Pacific Ocean includes yellowfin, bigeye, bluefin and skipjack. Although not as large are the shrimping industry tuna is a large contributor to México’s fishing sector.
Last July the México’s National Aquaculture and Fishing Commission (CONAPESCA) unexpectedly stopped all fishing for Bluefin tuna. No reason for the untimely closure was given by CONAPESCA at the time. The closure was rescinded a couple of days later, also without explanation.
