Sunday Tuna

A single bluefin tuna has sold in Japan for $1.7 million, almost triple the record price set last year.

A step in the right direction before we kill the last bluefin?

North of the border.......

Scientists are denouncing Canada’s management of fish stocks as a commercially driven approach that is threatening to wipe out the bluefin.

It is the ultimate fish.

When its muscles fire up it can actually cook its own flesh.

These are the kind of posts that bring me to the Chum every day. Love the fish pics and movies, but these informative posts are the best.

of all the harmfull tuna fishing practices in the world, you're going to claim the rod and reel fishery will be responsible for catching the 'last bluefin'. That's not only lazy, but ignorant. We should be promoting the management tools used by Canada and the US. You want to help the tuna? Fight the herring seiners.
