Atlantic bluefin tuna are horribly overfished. Three-fourths of the Atlatnic bluefin catch is consumed by Japan, which prizes the rich red meat as sashimi. The fish is so highly prized that the best can sell for over $400 a pound wholesale. The United States, complicit for years in Atlantic bluefin overfishing because of the obvious economic incentives, has finally gotten behind the total ban scientists think is necessary to preserve the species. Japan opposes the ban. A Washington Post article quotes a bluefin trader as saying the Japanese government had no choice: "We Japanese eat tuna." Imagine if this guy said: "We Japanese eat panda."
