  • A chunk of prime yellow fin tuna fish steak lies after filleting on a table in a processing factory on the island of Himmafushi, Maldives. The 50kg carcasses have been swimming across the Indian Ocean non-stop since birth and having just been line-caught by freelance boat crews who share profits for only high-quality fish that passes stringent health tests. The tuna has been encased in ice since being landed at sea to keep a low-temperature body core so the workers cut out the prime flesh as quickly as possible before boxing the resulting chunks of steak for export by air to Europe and in particular for customers such as UK's Sainsbury's supermarket. The Sri Lankan butchers are ex-fishermen and widowers, having lost their families during the Tsunami. Using extremely sharp knives, they skillfully remove valuable meat and throw away the rest.

  • A fisherman from the Maldives clubs to death a yellow fin tuna on the deck of a dhoni boat in the Indian Ocean. Using a handmade instrument of death, carved from beach flotsam, the man raises his hands to again bring the club down on the dying fish whose skull has already been smashed by repeated blows. Next it will be gutted efficiently with sharp knives and immediately plunged into ice containers to cool the flesh, reducing the risk of self-deteriorating flushed blood which renders it unfit for consumption under EU law (its live internal core temperature is 40 degrees centigrade). When as many fish have been caught before dark using hand and line method, rather than nets, the boat presses on to the processing factory at Himmafushi where they're filleted and boxed for export to Europe and in particular, for UK supermarkets like Sainsbury's.

  • The writer, essayist and philosopher Alain de Botton leans against the wheel of a traditional dhoni boat in the Indian Ocean. De Botton is in the Maldives researching his book 'The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work' about the world of Work, published in April 2009. Here he accompanies a fishing boat crew who use hand and line methods to land yellow fin tuna for export to the EU and in particular, Sainsbury's supermarket. Barefoot on the roof of the wheelhouse and with the top of his pen in mouth, he looks thoughfully into the distance to think of more great ideas for his best-selling book. Alain de Botton (born Zurich, 1969) now lives in London. His best-selling books refer both to his own experiences and ideas- and those of artists, philosophers and thinkers. It's a style of writing that has been termed a 'philosophy of everyday life.'
