Mainly because we have killed and eaten most of them... The BFT population has been decimated w.. People WANT their sushi and sashimi, don't care what it costs or how badly eating endangers tuna population.. BFT are now extinct in some very large areas where they were once common, most notably the Black Sea.. IMHO its time to class them as endangered and stop ALL fishing for them until populations can stabilize.. It won't happen.. There are MANY fishermen that would gladly catch the last wild BFT in the worlds oceans, and sell it for $5,000 a pound so millionaires in Asia could sit down and enjoy the last BFT sushi ever to be eaten, at a million dollars a plate.... We really need to start exhibiting some self control on these fish and certain other species[Patagonian Toothfish].. They are disappearing fast, mostly into the mouths of the well heeled... bob |
