Almadraba tuna fishing. Almadraba fishermen catching Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus). The Almadraba technique is an ancient passive trapping method of catching Atlantic bluefin that uses a maze of nets that the tuna cannot escape. Here, the final net, or copo, is being winched to the surface by hand. Photographed in Zahara de los Atunes, Andalucia, Spain.
