Southern Africa Sustainable Tuna Association (SASTUNA) albacore pole-line fishery

SASTUNA was formed as a not-for-profit by three leading marketing companies trading in South Atlantic albacore, namely Kaytrad Commodities Pty Ltd, Breakwater Products Pty Ltd, and Blue Seas Products, in an effort to standardise local tuna trading and to ensure inclusivity and reputational gain for all stakeholders involved within the fishery known for its responsible fishing practices.

More than 130 independently owned vessels operating as Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) are listed in the certification report, comprising the entire fleet targeting albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga) with the use of pole, handline, and rod-and-reel gear. Together the combined operations of the member companies, along with the fishing fleet, employ more than 3,000 South Africans
