Vizag’s Tuna Industry Faces Sustainability and Growth Challenges

Visakhapatnam's tuna industry is facing big changes.

The amount of tuna caught has gone up and down a lot in recent years.

Some types of tuna, like Yellowfin, have seen big swings in how much is caught.

Others, like Skipjack, have been more stable.

Experts say this is because the fish are moving around and the ocean is changing.

Fishermen want better places to process the tuna so they can sell it for more money.

Officials are worried about making sure there are enough fish for the future.

Right now, the industry has to decide if it will keep selling raw fish or start adding value to it.
