The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, responsible for regulating the bluefin catch, has for years ignored the advice of its own scientists and set quotas unsustainably high.
In November, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, which oversees stocks, rejected calls by the WWF, formerly the World Wildlife Fund, for a three-year ban on bluefin tuna fishing, saying that stocks were robust enough.
