New bluefin tuna fishing quota criticized Newsvine - business Tue, 11/25/2008 - 09:49 Environmental groups say a new quota for the commercial fishing of bluefin tuna in the Mediterranean will threaten the fish's survival.

The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) estimates that 51 percent of all the Bluefin tuna caught in the Mediterranean during 2007 was illegal and unauthorised. According to the commission, the total catch for last year was 61,000 tones – a sharp contrast to the agreed quota of 29,500 tones.

Fish is a healthful food and we should eat more of it. With apologies to Mrs. Paul, one tires of fish sticks (hopefully by fifth grade) and (sorry, Charlie) tuna-salad sandwiches can be an odoriferous embarrassment in the old brown bag.

Imagine that while you’re fishing for yellowfin, you are bombarded by small explosives dropped from a helicopter working for a commercial purse seiner. Sounds utterly absurd, but watch this video… it happened in Costa Rica.
