Abstract

I would certainly not call myself a fisher. As a young girl riding horses in California, I would have never imagined setting foot on a commercial fishing vessel. But here I was, on a hot morning in the far northwest of Australia, getting ready to depart on a boat to seek and catch one the fastest of the sea’s creatures: tuna. Having spent the previous years in a more formal marine educational environment—the University— I was ready to learn about fisheries in a more direct fashion.
