Note
Tuna fisheries in the U.S. are primarily located in the Pacific Ocean, particularly around Hawaii and the West Coast.
The Pacific Ocean is the primary location for U.S. tuna fisheries, which target species such as albacore, bigeye, yellowfin, and skipjack tuna. These fisheries take advantage of the abundant tuna populations in the Pacific to operate close to Hawaii, American Samoa, and along the West Coast. Both the commercial and recreational fishing sectors depend heavily on tuna, which also supports regional seafood markets and exports. There are tuna fisheries in the Atlantic Ocean as well, although they are not as extensive as those in the Pacific. Catch quotas and international collaboration are examples of sustainable management strategies that contribute to the long-term well-being of Pacific tuna populations and the fisheries they sustain.
