Tuna Industry Price Fix Allegations Across Pacific Tuna Trade
The FTC charged boat owner associations and canners in California and Oregon with fixing prices for raw fund and canned tuna to suppress competition and hinder tuna catching in Pacific waters. The complaint names multiple associations, unions, and companies and notes 30 day response, with a Long Beach examiner hearing set for November 19. Canners deny conspiracy claims, citing current low prices and chaotic market conditions.
