Until the Europeans and Japan buy into conservation and ICCAT get their head out of their ass, it will be a mute point. There is no real enforcement of the rules. The BFT issue is much bigger than just the tuna themselves. Overharvestig their forage base, technology that is superior, a ridiculous quota for everyone, etc. The whole issue is a mess. Bleak situation. The worst thing you can do to a fishery is make it a valuale commodity. If left to man's devices , it will lead to the end for that fish if there isnt strict checks and balances in place and strong enforcement with in the fishery.
