This means nothing for the fishery. It’s cerimonial bragging right thing. A locally caught (japan) fish. First of the year.

I’ll never understand how fishing for an endangered species like BFT is an acceptable or responsible form of angling.

The the Pacific bluefin tuna is labled as "vulnerable,"

The Atlantic bluefin tuna, a close relative to the Pacific bluefin, is listed as endangered

the southern bluefin, is critically endangered.

Not sure about nothing for the fishery
