Early Saturday morning Mazatlán’s tuna fleet set sail to
begin the tuna season. It is expected that the season’s catch will
exceed 130,000 tons. 35 tuna boats from the Azteca Fishing fleet were
among those leaving the docks.
José Eduvigildo Carranza with Azteca said within the
first 60 hours they will have a good idea about the type of season the
tuna fleet will have.
Conapesca said that in 2010 that tuna exports accounted
for 4.2% of the total production of 131,000 tons with a value of $26.3
million.
The three largest tuna companies in Mazatlán are Pinsa,
Pesca Azteca and Mazindustrial. Pinsa is the processing and marketing
arm of the group with 13 production lines and a capacity of 21 thousand
tons of tuna.
