The sale of bluefin tuna could be banned by the European Union this autumn when the bloc decides whether to add the fish to a list of endangered species.

This would be good. it is hard to believe that such a muscle bound very aggressive fish like this is in trouble. If the tuna is in trouble so are we!!!
Thanks Cher

it's about time to ban bluefin taking from oceans. now fishes have no where to hide. and the bluefins sold in japan are all adolescent instead of adults . i saw photos showing an adult bluefin standing over seven foot tall couple decades ago ( before the japanese discovered such fish was not valued in the american market ). then bluefin was not the target species. therefore they were left to grow into adult!
