Read an article in the WS Journal yesterday that scientists feel the stocks are too low and additional damage to the species from the BP oil spill may lead to adding BF to the endangered list.

Of course that will only apply to the US. They can still decimate whats left of the schools across the pond.

The U.S. government will wrap up public meetings next week on whether to recommend declaring the Atlantic bluefin an endangered species. If the government declared the fish endangered, it would bar fishermen from targeting the fish in U.S. waters. An environmental group filed the request last year, claiming in part that the western-Atlantic stock of the fish, long believed to spawn only in the Gulf of Mexico, would "be devastated" by last year's spill from a blown-out BP PLC well.

Anyone else heard new of this?
