Kings of their own ocean : tuna and the future of our oceans
Pinchin, Karen2024
Book
In 2004, an enigmatic charter captain named Al Anderson caught and marked one Atlantic bluefin tuna off New England's coast with a plastic fish tag. Fourteen years later that fish - dubbed Amelia for her ocean-spanning journeys - died in a Mediterranean fish trap, sparking Karen Pinchin's riveting investigation into the marvels, struggles and prehistoric legacy of this remarkable species. This is a tale of human obsession, one intrepid tuna, the dedicated fisherman who caught and set her free, the promises and limits of ocean science and the big truth of how our insatiable appetite for bluefin transformed a cottage industry into a global dilemma.
