Commodity chains for canned tuna are global, with fishing grounds in all the oceans, processing centers
on every continent and end markets equally widespread. A tuna caught by a Taiwanese vessel in the
exclusive economic zone of Kiribati in the Pacific may be transported to a cannery in Thailand by...
Over the past century, the tuna canning industry has been dominated by a few big companies, some of
them having changed of ownership or merged: these oligopolistic firms are the “big three” in the USA,
Van Camp, Star Kist, and Bumble Bee, the French Saupiquet, the Italian Trinity Alimentari and...
Tuna farming industry of Japan has achieved complete culture and currently tries to seize the opportunity to materialize the industrial mass production of the artificial seed. Japan was only 3,000 tons (8%) among 37,000 tons of 2007, which was the peak of world production of cultured tuna. However in 2008,...
Tuna fishery is the main one, in quantity, for both Azores and Madeira Atlantic islands and for Azores it is decisive for the survival of the local tuna canning industry. The main catches are from skipjack and bigeye
tuna species, the last one with TAC restrictions. From a strategic perspective...
Introduction Tuna is one of the worlds most traded and sought after species
of fish. The global tuna market is worth in the region of $6billion and
annual catch volumes of around 4 million tonnes. The tuna supply chain is
global and it is broad and complex involving multiple stakeholders....
Some recent studies have shown the outstanding price linkages at the global scale between the cannery-grade
tuna markets over the last decade. When it comes to price transmission along the European value chains, opposite results between the two major species (skipjack and yellowfin) are found: the market for final goods...

The purpose of the study was to estimate the parameters of
the demand equation for canned pink salmon at the processor-distributor
level. Opening prices for the years 1951 to 1965 were
used, along with disposable income and tuna prices, as an independent
variable in a demand equation in which quantity...
The primary purpose of the study was to identify the demand
for processed salmon from the West Coast. The basic approach in
the demand analysis was to identify those variables that determine
the supply and demand for processed salmon. An econometric model
was established containing the supply and demand equations...
