Bluefin tuna is by far the most popular fish used in sushi today, but soon will not be if the current population trend continues. As the market for this extraordinary fish soars, the industry continuously exploits this species to a point of no return.

Known as the “King of the Sea,” current population trends suggest that they will not be king for much longer.
