Fourteen years later that same fish--dubbed Amelia for her ocean-spanning journeys--was caught again, this time in a Mediterranean fish trap. Over his fishing career, Al marked more than sixty thousand fish with plastic tags, an obsession that made him nearly as many enemies as it did friends.

Kings of Their Own Ocean is an urgent investigation that combines science, business, crime, and environmental justice. Through Karen Pinchin's exclusive interviews and access, interdisciplinary approach, and mesmerizing storytelling, readers join her on boats and docks as she visits tuna hot spots and scientists from Portugal to Japan, New Jersey to Nova Scotia, and glimpse, as Pinchin does, rays of dazzling hope for the future of our oceans."--; Subjects: Biographies.; Personal narratives.; Amelia (Bluefin tuna); Anderson, Al, 1938-2018.; Bluefin tuna; Bluefin tuna.; Fishers; Tuna fishing; Tuna industry;
