Pacific bluefin tuna can weigh up to 1000 pounds and swim around the
world at 50 miles per hour -- but even that's not big enough or fast
enough to save these fish from the dangers of overfishing.

96% of this impressive species is already gone.

They are worth a lot of money. That's the problem. People pay a LOT of money for them.
If we want to help the species recover, the public needs to stop eating them.

Fat chance. With the planet population being about 3X-4X more than
this dirt ball can comfortably sustain, all animals face a grim
future. When the fish run out, land animals will be next. That is,
if we don't run out of water, first. 8|

Yep! Too many rats in a cage problem. Put too many rats in a cage and
they WILL start eating each other.

I thought we were supposed to run out of fish by 2012? Or did someone
revise that figure? Dire predictions...

I'm having catfish for dinner. And they weren't farmed in the Mekong
river so I won't have any qualms. :)

I bit my tongue and didn't snark about Asian fishing vessels, what
they do and where they do it. I'm sure ours do the same thing, but we
don't hear about that.

A lot of this fish is sold to Japan which apparently has super deep
pockets, for the right kind of food.

The color of their fin...it's blue.

Farmed fish is going to be the way to go, but it really needs some
effort on independent auditing and quality standards to get the populace
on board. Fish farmed in the US, Chile and a few other places are quite
good quality, it is mostly some low grade crap from China and Vietnam
that have been giving farmed fish a bad name.

I thought eating farmed salmon was not a good idea either.

Farmed salmon is fine. The source for that article is not credible, the
EWG is enviro-wacko attack group devoid of credentials and credibility.

Farmed Chilean steelhead is definitely tasty, the salmon less so, imho.
