AUSTRALIAN-based Seadragon Group is looking into possible joint ventures with Russian owners to operate on tuna licences available to the firm, according to Seadragon's CEO Harold Van Haltren.
The fishing grounds in question are the domestic and internal EEZ of Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, with the available quotas providing for up to 20,000 tonnes of mostly tuna species.
The Australian firm says it is primarily interested in purse seiners or longliners for the capture of tuna for export to Japan.
