Maybe they should cut down on red tuna, and switch to salmon, octopus, squid, and shrimp. It will be sometime before enviros howl about extinction of squid and shrimp.:)

By the way, I suspect that, even with this much tuna coming in, tuna sushi will be still d*mn expensive in Japan unless they find a way to mass-produce them using industrial robots.:)

Tuna are safe from being fished to extinction. Eventually the cost of tuna will become so expensive it will cause the Japanese stock market to crash, causing mass suicides by rich Japanese, thus depleting the demand for tuna. /sarc

I'm not sure why anyone would put a high money value on fish caught in the Mediterranean ... it's known as Europe's cesspool. In terms of aesthetics it's a beautiful body of water, what flows into it is another matter entirely.

They can save the stocks by employing the catch, bite, release method of sushi fishing.

Try turkey sushi instead, it's killer.

The choicest pieces, such as the exquisite flesh from the tuna's stomach,

Stomach?! Obviously referring to toro or the fattier meat on the underside of the tuna covering the abdomen. Makes one wonder if the author knows anything about this topic and isn't just responding to enviro hysteria.

Japan * ping * (kono risuto ni hairitai ka detai wo shirasete kudasai : let me know if you want on or off this list)
