State of the Bluefin Tuna

While looking over a recent study done and posted in a science journal I encountered a horrible find. Compiling all the numbers from captain's logs and fish houses we found out just how much the Pacific Bluefin Tuna has been overfished. The lowest estimate has it that their population is now just 5% of what it used to be!!! Yes only 5% of what it was... People know that the bluefin are becomming rare and are doing nothing about it. A 489lb bluefin just sold for 1.76million dollars. There are no laws in most countries to stop the mayhem of commercial overfishing. Spread the Word!
