Pacific bluefin tuna numbers drop 96%

Time to cut back on the sushi.

The bluefin tuna, which has been endangered for several years and has the misfortune to be prized by Japanese sushi lovers, has suffered a catastrophic decline in stocks in the Northern Pacific Ocean, of more than 96%, according to new research published on Wednesday.

Equally concerning is the fact that about 90% of specimens currently fished are young fish that have not yet reproduced.

A step in the right direction before we kill the last bluefin?

North of the border.......

Scientists are denouncing Canada’s management of fish stocks as a commercially driven approach that is threatening to wipe out the bluefin.

It is the ultimate fish.

When its muscles fire up it can actually cook its own flesh.
