Vintage documentary created by Del Monte Foods about how Tuna is caught, harvested and then canned for consumption. The best part is the fishing. Tuna after tuna is hauled onto the ship, and the narrator is chirping encouragement to the fishermen while they throw fish after fish onto the boat. Impressive! Then after that it's off to the plant. Pretty ordinary stuff here follows about how the fish is canned... Except for one tiny thing. The women putting the tuna in the can are doing it by hand.
About the Tuna:
A tuna is a saltwater finfish that belongs to the tribe Thunnini. Thunnini comprises fifteen species across five genera, the sizes of which vary greatly, ranging from the bullet tuna (max. length: 50 cm (1.6 ft), weight: 1.8 kg (4 lb)) up to the Atlantic bluefin tuna (max. length: 4.6 m (15 ft), weight: 684 kg (1,508 lb)). The bluefin averages 2 m (6.6 ft), and is believed to live for up to 50 years.
Tuna and mackerel sharks are the only species of fish that can maintain a body temperature higher than that of the surrounding water. An active and agile predator, the tuna has a sleek, streamlined body, and is among the fastest-swimming pelagic fish - the yellowfin tuna, for example, is capable of speeds of up to 75 km/h (47 mph).
Tuna Fishing:
Found in warm seas, Tuna is extensively fished commercially, and is popular as a game fish. The most important species for commercial and recreational tuna fisheries are yellowfin, bigeye, bluefin, albacore and skipjack. Between 1940 and the mid-1960s, the annual world catch of the five principal market species of tunas rose from about 300 thousand tons to about 1 million tons, most of it taken by hook and line. With the development of purse-seine nets, now the predominant gear, catches have risen to more than 4 million tons annually during the last few years. Of these catches, about 68 percent are from the Pacific Ocean, 22 percent from the Indian Ocean, and the remaining 10 percent from the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Skipjack makes up about 60 percent of the catch, followed by yellowfin (24 percent), bigeye (10 percent), albacore (5 percent), and bluefin the remainder. Purse-seines take about 62 percent of the world production, longline about 14 percent, pole and line about 11 percent, and a variety of other gears the remainder 3.
Tuna as food:
Tuna are widely regarded as a delicacy in most areas where they are shipped, being prepared in a variety of ways for the sake of achieving specific flavors or textures. When served as a steak, the meat of most species is known for its thickness and somewhat tough texture.
Canned tuna was first produced in Australia in 1903, quickly becoming popular. Tuna is canned in edible oils, in brine, in water, and in various sauces. Tuna may be processed to be "chunked" or "flaked". In the United States, 52% of canned tuna is used for sandwiches; 22% for salads; and 15% for casseroles and dried and pre-packaged meal kits.
In the United States, only Albacore can be sold in canned form as "white meat tuna"; in other countries, yellowfin is also acceptable. While in the early 1980s canned tuna in Australia was most likely Southern bluefin, as of 2003 it was usually yellowfin, skipjack, or tongol (labelled "northern bluefin").

Thank you for your generosity!
I be happy to catch two of those
Is it weird that this is the first time I've heard how "Del Monte" is pronounced? I've seen these cans for years at work, and always wondered whether or not the final "e" was silent. This video was full of interesting little details. I never knew about those folding fishing platforms before.
wow, you never have watched a Del Monte commercial before? I have a feeling you did but just did not register it.
@@realretrorelapse That is completely possible. I don't recall ever having heard it before, but I could be mistaken.
Wow. Wtf 😳 lol. It ain’t like that nowadays
Oh man! This is great, now let's not forget those GREAT EARLY classic (German Expressionism? if not mistaken......(sheepishly, inquiring). THANKS for these uploads, they are GREAT!!
That America flag at 8:32 , also I get the feeling this documentary was sponsored.. :D
Regrettably, Starkist lost his life this day. With his dying breath he said the men on this boat did it on porpoise.
his cousin Charlie Tuna has been plotting his revenge
@@realretrorelapse Exactly! Did you hear about the lady that went fishing with seven men and came back with a big red snapper?
I should know. I was there
there are still alot of tuna these days right?? cause they are delicious... grilled tuna
+Jung Sung Oh Less than before but some areas still have a lot. In south africa every year a large migration of tuna passes through the cape.
No not remotely. About 90+% of the bluefin are gone. Bonito and Skipjack are ok, but the larger species are over 70% gone (yellowfin, bigeye etc).
Unfortunately bluefin tuna are overfished in the Pacific. The Japanese and Mexicans are responsible for most of it. Even as a commercial fisherman I've stopped targeting them and I'm currently helping someone with legislation for a moratorium on bluefin

They treat them like vegetables. Their suffering does not move the fishermen.
They are on a job, emotions are irrelevant. Crying equal treatment is for upper class, first world kids who have never worked a day in their life.

In 7 years since your self righteous comment…have you ever once felt for the suffering of the children in sweatshops who helped manufacture the parts needed for the device used for you to type that comment with? 🙄

Look how many fish used to be in the ocean
we don't seem to be running out of tuna anytime soon.
@@realretrorelapse dude we are totally running out of fish in the ocean. It's like 80% of what it used to be. Look it up if you don't believe me
@@ESL-O.G.lol
This is called 'pole and line' fishing to catch skipjack tuna.
San Diego....sub-tropical? lol
Cool film
wow that's amazing wish I could catch that many
Why did they have to kill the shark though?
They arent just there for tuna. Most commercial fishing boats sell many types of fish.
