Felivaru Fisheries Maldives Ltd (FFM) is owned by the government of Maldives. We are specialized in producing highest quality canned tuna and cooked loins for local and export markets. Our tuna is caught from pristine waters of Maldives exclusively by pole and line method. This method is certified as dolphin friendly by Earth Island Institute. It is our claim that the pole & line method used in Maldivian fisheries has lowest numbers in by catch and one of the most (if not the most) sustainable and effective methods in getting the target species. Our sustainability claim is supported by certification of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) by Marine Stewardship Council (MSC).
The Maldivian Skipjack Industry, a 100% pole and line process, is the dominant economic fishery activity in the country, and is also recognized as one of the most environmentally sustainable skipjack fishery in the world.
