Gone were the days when fishing boats of the Amadeo Fishing Corp. (AFC) sailed daily to catch tuna. Now, most of its fishing vessels are grounded in the company’s private wharf in the coastal village of Calumpang here. Some are being fixed either for sale or for rent to fishing firms in other countries. The reason: The implementation in January of the two-year ban on catching yellow fin and big-eye tuna imposed by the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC).
