Tuna support some of the world's largest, most valuable and spatially extensive fisheries, but effective management has been challenging due to their transboundary movements and the need for multilateral decision‐making. To address public concerns of over‐exploitation, fishing companies have sought to differentiate themselves through involvement in “sustainable seafood” eco‐certification programmes. Here, we show that the volume associated with such initiatives for tuna increased 237‐fold between 2007 and 2019. Today, 2.31 million tonnes (47%) of the global tuna catch comes from fisheries holding or seeking Marine Stewardship Council eco‐certification. This is due to a 57‐fold increase in the number of fisheries engaged in the eco‐certification process. Crucially, this growth is also correlated with a concurrent 14‐fold increase in the adoption of harvest strategies by Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs). Semi‐structured interviews with a broad range of RFMO stakeholders corroborate that the rapid uptake of harvest strategies is largely attributable to pressure from fishing companies needing to meet eco‐certification requirements; over 90% of respondents had directly observed or speculated on this type of advocacy. These results suggest the tuna fishing industry and associated seafood supply chain actors are now playing an unprecedented role in shaping the international governance of these species.

快速增加的生态认证覆盖面改变了世界金枪鱼渔业的管理

金枪鱼为世界上一些最大,最有价值和空间广泛的渔业提供了支持,但由于其越境转移和需要多边决策,有效的管理一直面临挑战。为了解决公众对过度开发的关注,捕捞公司试图通过参与“可持续海产品”生态认证计划来与众不同。在这里,我们表明,与此类金枪鱼计划相关的数量在2007年至2019年之间增加了237倍。如今,全球金枪鱼捕捞量为231万吨(47%)来自持有或寻求海洋管理委员会生态认证的渔业。这是由于从事生态认证过程的渔业数量增加了57倍。至关重要的是 这种增长还与区域渔业管理组织(RFMO)同时采用捕捞策略增加14倍相关。对广泛的区域渔业管理组织利益相关者进行的半结构化访谈证实,捕捞策略的迅速采用很大程度上归因于需要满足生态认证要求的捕捞公司的压力;超过90%的受访者直接观察或推测了这种倡导方式。这些结果表明,金枪鱼捕捞业和相关的海鲜供应链参与者现在在塑造这些物种的国际治理方面发挥着空前的作用。对广泛的区域渔业管理组织利益相关者进行的半结构化访谈证实,捕捞策略的迅速采用很大程度上归因于需要满足生态认证要求的捕捞公司的压力;超过90%的受访者直接观察或推测了这种倡导方式。这些结果表明,金枪鱼捕捞业和相关的海鲜供应链参与者现在在塑造这些物种的国际治理方面发挥着空前的作用。对广泛的区域渔业管理组织利益相关者进行的半结构化访谈证实,捕捞策略的迅速采用很大程度上归因于需要满足生态认证要求的捕捞公司的压力;超过90%的受访者直接观察或推测了这种倡导方式。这些结果表明,金枪鱼捕捞业和相关的海鲜供应链参与者现在在塑造这些物种的国际治理方面发挥着空前的作用。
