A single tuna fish has been sold in Japan for 16.28 million yen, the highest price paid in Japan for nine years. This tuna weighed 232 kg. The Japanese eat a lot of tuna, not least in sushi. It sure would be something to get a taste of this huge fish, but it is naturally highly unlikely that I get to do it.
At the same time, there are concerns that tunas are being fished too hard. Tuna stocks are diminishing in the Atlantic and the Medditeranean, and I believe it would be prudent to take care of the stock in the Pacific as well. I do not suggest a complete ban on tuna fishing, but with limits on the fishing the tuna stocks would surely be bigger again.
