Wicked Tuna is an American reality television series about commercial tuna fishermen based in Gloucester, Massachusetts, who fish for the lucrative Atlantic bluefin tuna in the North Atlantic Ocean. The teams of fishermen battle each other to see who can get the most profit out of catching the fish.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] The series has aired on National Geographic Channel since April 1, 2012.
In addition to offering an inside look at one of America's oldest industries, Wicked Tuna sheds light on important issues surrounding the fate of the bluefin tuna. Captains adhere to U.S. regulations that determine size limits and quotas for the season.[6]
The ninth season premiered on March 1, 2020 and ended on June 7 of the same year.[7]
