> Dear all,
> As part of a regional course for Pacific Island fishing vessel skippers, I
> will soon be giving a lecture on sashimi tuna handling and grading for
> export markets (in our region fresh chilled yellowfin and bigeye tunas are
> exported mainly to Japan, Hawaii and US main land and to a lesser extent
> Australia).
> Since the focus of the whole course is on "ways to increase the
> profitability of fishing vessels", I want to run my lecture going beyond
> the general principles of tuna handling and grading and, if possible,
> give a talk on "maximising catch return through good handling".
>
> Would some of you, with experience in the marketing of sashimi tunas, be
> in a position to provide examples or anecdotes illustrating the benefits
> of good handling (or the cost of poor handling)?
>
> Thanks in advance
>
> PS: I will be leaving for the course venue on Tuesday 21 March
