you know, I've been harping on people (friends/family) to stop eating
species that are being over fished for quite some time, perhaps this will
get people to stop eating so much bluefin tuna? um... I doubt it.... I
always preferred hamachi and and others over tuna anyway, so this won't
affect me, but it's never fun when your favourite food gets bad press.
Perhaps this will dampen the global demand and the pressure on the stocks
of Bluefin Tuna. And Chilean Seabass. That in turn will bring the prices
down further reducing the pressure.
If price drops, the pressure on bluefin will increase.. Lower prices makes
it more attractive for sale. People have to make a conscience effort to stop
eating the fish having population issues. I stopped eating swordfish a few
year back when restaurants started their own moratorium.
