Dr Hagen Heinz Stehr AO (born 1941) is a German-born multi-millionaire businessman, tuna fisherman and founder of the Stehr Group. He lives in Port Lincoln, South Australia where he manages his business interests in fishing and aquaculture, most notably Southern bluefin tuna (Thunnus maccoyii) fishing and offshore ranching in Spencer Gulf for export markets. The Stehr Group also propagates and grows Australian Yellowtail Kingfish (Seriola lalandi) and Australian Mulloway (Argyrosomus hololepidotus) through its aquaculture division, Clean Seas Aquaculture Growout Pty. Ltd. One of the wealthiest men in South Australia, Mr Stehr is also the founder and chairman of the Australian Maritime and Fishing Academy. The Stehr Group has a commercial fleet of nine vessels. Stehr is sometimes referred to colloquially as a "tuna baron" or "tuna king", a term representative of the profitability of the business. He has previously boasted that when he sits down with his friends Sime "Sam" Sarin, Mario Valcic and Joe Puglisi, they are worth more than a billion dollars between them.〔 According to the BRW Australian rich list, his personal wealth was approximately $US135 million in 2009 after peaking the previous year at AUD$271 million. In 2015, Stehr's business Clean Seas Tuna Limited was ranked number 88 in InDaily's Top 100 SA Businesses, with an annual revenue of $20,133,000. In 1996, Stehr briefly considered establishing a tuna farm in Encounter Bay as a tourist attraction to cater for Japanese tourists. A similar proposal was put forward in 2015 by another Port Lincoln tuna baron, Tony Santic. In 2014, Stehr participated in a trade delegation to China with Australia's Prime Minister, Tony Abbott as an ambassador for the seafood industry. Stehr has appeared in the ''60 Minutes'' episode ''Drovers of the Deep'' (2004), and his business was the subject of the documentary film ''Tuna Wranglers'' (2007). == Early life == Stehr left home at the age of 12 to join the merchant marines, then jumped from job to job working on cargo ships. He absconded at Port Lincoln at the age of 18, where he met his wife Anna and became a tuna fisherman in 1961. He arrived in Port Lincoln with little money and no employment prospects.〔 He is also a former member of the French Foreign Legion.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hagen Stehr」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
