Mention the word "tuna" and immediately, Gen. Santos City comes to mind because of the rich waters of Sarangani bay, one of the breeding grounds of the tastiest tuna in Mindanao which has a tickled the world's palate. Situated near international waters which abound with the sought after fish, the city has been acknowledged as the country "tuna capital" for decades now since its catch can surpass the aggregate tuna yield of all local ports. The tuna industry employs more than 5,000 workers, hosts the most modern fishport in the country and serves as the backbone of the local economy.
