Yes true- During the wicked tuna season- the prices the fishermen get falls off then at end of season, it grows again- as the last of the tuna are caught and japan won’t be getting it much longer-

http://www.sportfishingmag.com/Bahamas-might-allow-Chinese-commercial-fishing#page-3 Look for the price of bluefin tuna to rise dramatically over the years as the chicoms move into the Bahamas.

For 2.1 billion over ten years they will rape and pillage a once remarkable fishery that the Bahamas has now.

After they are through fish trapping, netting and longlining the area they will be nothing left.

In the spring when giant bluefin migrate through the Cat Cay Bimini areas huge nets will take thousands of lbs. of bluefins that could have been caught one at a time by sportfishermen throughout the Atlantic coast from Flordia to Canada.

Worst part, they will buy land to process the fish and who knows how many spies will come in by submarine. they will flood the bahamas only minutes from the coast of Florida. Meanwhile zero sits back and watches probably helped the entire thing happen.

In spite of having lived my entire life (except Army time) within 15 miles of the Atlantic I've never been a seafood fan.Give me a nice piece of prime rib or sirloin at $20/lb and I'm in heaven.And a baked potato smothered in butter wouldn't hurt either.

Cook it until its well done, mix with mayonnaise and celery and enjoy the Jap tears.

Sushi Zanmai owner Kiyoshi Kimura, who paid $ 632,000 this time , bid a record-setting $1.76 million on a bluefin tuna in 2013.
