Bluefin Tuna have the ability to live in extremely different climates; they are able to dot his thanks to their fatty bellies. Unfortunately for this species of tuna, however, their fatty bellies are the reason why they are now a threatened species. Sushi makers and eaters around the world love the buttery, bluefin tuna belly. In the Mediterranean alone it was estimated that 50 thousand tons of tuna – which is 50% of the global market - was caught in just one year! No wonder there people were shocked to hear that the Federal Government decided not to put Bluefin on the endangered species list. (More can be read about their reasoning here.) The tuna are being so over fished now that the prices have fallen, which will only lead to profit hungry fisherman violating quotas.
