Welcome to Science News, where we dive into the natural world’s most pressing stories. Today, we explore a serious challenge faced by the bluefin tuna, one of the ocean’s most iconic species and the world’s most expensive fish.
In 2019, a single bluefin tuna weighing 278 kilograms—about the size of a North American grizzly bear—sold for a record-breaking $3.1 million at a Tokyo auction. This astonishing price reflects its prized status, particularly in sushi and sashimi dishes, according to Sarah Glaser from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
Bluefin tuna are among the most commercially valuable fish on the planet. Their exceptional value once led to rampant overfishing, pushing them to the brink of extinction in 2010. Since then, sustainable fishing quotas and stricter enforcement have allowed populations to recover significantly. The Atlantic bluefin tuna, for example, moved from “endangered” to “least concern” on the IUCN Red List by 2021, while the Pacific bluefin population rebounded a decade ahead of international targets.
