Cleaning albacore loins in preparation for canning this premium whitemeat tuna

Cleaning albacore loins in preparation for canning this premium whitemeat tuna. The discarded dark parts of the loin go into canned pet food. Tunas and tuna-like fishes—with average catch of about 285 million pounds during 1963- 1967—dominated the California fisheries at that time and accounted for nearly 60 percent of total fishery landings.
