Bluefin Tuna collapsed in 2007

The destruction of stocks of one of the world’s most expensive fish, already recognised as being as endangered as the giant panda, effectively took place in 2007, more than twice the legal catch was taken by Mediterranean fishermen under the eyes of EU and UN-recognised officials, according to the report.

If the analysis of the size and weight of tuna now passing through the Japanese market is representative of what remains in the sea, according to the report, the EU and other Atlantic nations have presided over disaster comparable to that of the collapse of the blue whale or the Northern cod.

But we just keep eating away, devouring this majestic apex predator to extinction. Know your seafood. Make better choices next time you find yourself at a sushi restaurant. 

This isnt a small scale fisheries problem anymore. Its much bigger than that. And with the giant multinational Mitsubishi Corp controlling and stockpiling more than 40% share of the world market in bluefin, can you really expect the people in charge to make the right decisions?
