The primary fishing techniques used are the pole-and-line and long-line methods. Lines are deployed and retrieved after a certain period. The fishermen then process the Yellowfin tuna directly on board: the blood is drained, the nerves and all organs are removed. Finally, the tuna is frozen at -60°C and stored.
