About tuna fishing
There is no real context as this features in a company's financial statement in a list.
I have looked this up but cannot seem to find *aereo x* anywhere - I have seen that unmanned aerial vehicles are used for finding tuna but am concerned that this could equally be radar detection or something along those lines. Can anyone help?
TIA.

- An Analysis of Spotter Plane Use in the ABT Fishery -
Segments of the U.S. north Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (ABT) fishery utilize the aid of spotter planes in locating these large, valuable, migratory pelagics. Spotter planes are used primarily by
commercial fishermen fishing with purse seines or harpoon gear and only occasionally by vessels
trolling with rod and reel gear.

Comment: "Thanks to both of you. Although Ivana was quicker to answer and I want to thank her for help, I went for Linda's answer because it does seem to be the most commonly used term. Thank you!"

aircraft for tuna spotting
Hi Helen,
the x simply means "per" in Italian so I wouldn't worry about this being connected with radar detection etc.
I would use the word "aircraft" as this seems to be the most commonly used word in connection with tuna spotting, but you could be more specific and use "plane".
