The word tuna dates back only to 1880 in print and is attributed as a Spanish American derivation of the English counterpart, tunny.

It is derived from the Latin Thunnus, the name of its scientific genus. Tuna has been fished from the warm, temperate parts of the Mediterranean Sea and the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans since ancient times.

The modern and real tuna fisherman begun to work first in the bait boats, and later on move to the big tuna seiners with the invention of the power block and the big seine nets, also increase the size of the boats, and the capacity and autonomy of the fleets, some spending an average of two or three months per trip depending of the season, we know of some koreans boats that stay in fishing grounds for about 6 months without going ashore, doing the refueling and unloading in high seas.
