Maybe it's just me, but seeing how they are corralling entire schools of tuna, it seems that they may soon have to enlarge their range if there are fewer schools in their own region. (Kind of like the Japanese fishing fleets having to traverse the globe for fish because they depleted their own ocean.

(It would be like having fishing fleets corral all the stripers in Cape Cod Bay. They wouldn't be taking "ALL" the stripers from New England waters, but just from that bay. They wouldn't be taking all the fish, just all the mature, breeders. Then when the bay is empty, they'd have to "expand" their fishing range to the South Shore or to Buzzards Bay.)

If this is how all tuna fishing is done, then I apologize for my rant. I just thought it would be a little more like the tuna fishing of old, where you had to fish for them, not lure them into a pen with bait.
