Tonnes of Tuna

Abstract

"Situated in a region that boasts great marine biodiversity and one of the most abundant tuna resources, it is not surprising that the Philippines ranked 11th in world fisheries production in 2001 and was the fourth-largest producer of tuna and tuna-like species in the world in 2003, according to the FAO Statistical Databas (FAOSTAT) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)."
