Tuna fishing
Tuna fishing takes place in daylight and begins with the helicopter overflight, which
transports each of the missions, and locates the tuna schools from the air.
Once in the area, maneuvers begin for the haul of the purse seine, which is approximately
two kilometers long and 190 meters deep. Speedboats guide the fish towards the center of
what will be a circumference. The sailors lower the compass (small boat) with one end of the
mesh and the boat continues sailing with the other end to form a large circle that, when pulled,
becomes a sort of bag that traps the fish.
Before the lifting of the net, a maneuver is carried out so that the dolphins escape, even when
loaded by the divers. Then the network is contracted with a powerful hydraulic system, and
the fish start to rise in a kind of "mechanical bucket".
Finally, the tuna is deposited in cooling tanks at a temperature of minus 18 degrees Celsius
Repair of boats.
When a blow or deterioration of the sheet occurs in some of the fishing boats, it is very
common to take them to the repair center, called the shipyard. Before being taken to this
place, some inspections are carried out first, such as:
• Sheet dimension
Once the above factors have been analyzed and an anomaly is found at some point it is
important to fix the problem by installing the ship at the shipyard, which is located
approximately 800m from the PINSA pier. Then, to install the boat in the shipyard it must
be placed under some pistons which are placed in strategic points to be easily uploaded. If
not, this will be accommodated with cranes.
When boarding correctly, the boat will be arranged by authorized Aztec fishing personnel.
Finally, when the ship is repaired, it is returned to the dock to return to work in it.
