Uploaded by

JESUS EDUARDO CARBONO NIEBLES

Bluefin tuna are farmed in cylindrical pens measuring 70 meters in diameter and 30 meters deep, holding around 2,000 fish. The farms replace 30% of the fish's diet with pellets, requiring 7 kilograms of feed to produce 1 kilogram of tuna. In 2017, Japan's bluefin tuna farms produced over 36,000 tonnes and saw 270 tonnes sold for $8.05 million, with total sales of $42 million and profits of $10 million.
