No the big problem is the price of tuna. There should be a no sale for a few years; look what it did to the striper fishery.

The price is so high, and marine regulators, seemingly, are so cheap to buy, that bluefin tuna will go extinct unless it is taken off the market here and in Europe. I just do not see how tuna can survive.
