Den ene stammer fra EII, der som nævnt ikke tillader fiskerne at omringe delfinstimerfor at fange tun (især gulfinnet tun), mens den anden er AIDCP's (Agreement on the International Dolphins Conservation Programme),som er søsterorganisation til IATTC (Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (1)), der pålægger fiskerne særlige forpligtelser og bestemmelser, som skal overholdes og gennemføres under fiskeri i detøstlige Stillehav, og hvis primære mål er at nedbringe bifangsten afdelfiner til nul.
Currently two differentinterpretations of “Dolphin Safe” tuna are challenging one another: that of EII, which, as mentioned, does not allow fishermen to encircle dolphinsschools during the fishing operation to catch tuna (notably yellow fintuna), and that of the Agreement on the International Dolphin Conservation Programme (AIDCP) the sister organisation to the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) (1) which imposes someparticular obligations and provisions to be respected and implementedduring the fishing operations in the Eastern Pacific Ocean and whoseprincipal aim is to reduce the dolphins by-catch, during these operations,towards level approaching zero.
