Bluefin Tuna Trade

The bluefin tuna trade involves the fishing, selling, and consumption of bluefin tuna, a highly sought-after fish renowned for its quality in sushi and sashimi. This trade has significant economic benefits but also raises environmental concerns due to overfishing. Bluefin tuna populations have declined dramatically, prompting regulations and conservation efforts to protect them. In some regions, the trade is heavily controlled, with quotas and licensing to ensure sustainability. The balance between demand, profit, and environmental responsibility continues to be a key topic in discussions about seafood trade and conservation.
