World Tuna Day, 2 May 2025

World Tuna Day, observed on May 2, serves as a global call to raise awareness about the pressing challenges facing tuna populations and to emphasize the need for sustainable fishing practices. Tuna and tuna-like species are vital to the global economy and food supply, contributing significantly to food security, economic growth, and the livelihoods of communities around the world. However, the growing market demand has placed immense pressure on tuna stocks. Alarming data show that 33.3% of the seven main tuna species are now fished at biologically unsustainable levels, highlighting the urgent need for conservation efforts and international cooperation.
In recognition of World Tuna Day 2025, we encourage you to explore current research and expert discussions featured in MDPI journals such as Animals, Fishes, Foods, and Journal of Marine Science and Engineering (JMSE). Through open access publishing and interdisciplinary collaboration, MDPI is dedicated to advancing innovative solutions that support the sustainable management of tuna and promote the long-term health of our oceans.
