  • The Story of Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Is One of Intrigue, Filled with International Drama, Mafia Connections, and Plot Twists Worthy of a Movie
    A brief from Sept 2017 Richard Herrmann The Story of Atlantic Bluefin Science-based management will ensure a healthy future Overview The story of Atlantic bluefin tuna is one of intrigue, filled with international drama, mafia connections, and plot twists worthy of a movie. The main character—Thunnus thynnus—is the largest and most athletic tuna, which can grow to the size of a small car and travel nearly as fast as one too. An Atlantic bluefin starts out no bigger than an eyelash and grows to several hundred pounds and more than 6 feet in length in less than a decade. Unlike most fish species, Atlantic bluefin are warm-blooded; the heat created in their huge swimming muscles enables bursting speed, sharp vision, and thought processing second to none in the fish world. They are among the Atlantic’s top predators, with few species they won’t eat—and even fewer that eat them. The fleets of fishing vessels plying the Atlantic—and hoping to cash in on the value that the species has in sushi markets in Japan and high-end restaurants around the world—present the greatest threat to the Atlantic bluefin. Fishermen are often paid more than $10,000 for a single Atlantic bluefin right at the dock. The value of a high- quality fish at the final point of sale can be tens of thousands of dollars. These transactions add up to be big business. A recent estimate set the value of Atlantic bluefin fishing at nearly $200 million at the dock in 2014— and over $800 million at the final point of sale.1 Experts estimate that, pound for pound, this species is the most valuable tuna in the world and likely the most valuable fish in the Atlantic Ocean or the Mediterranean Sea.

  • Trebeurden Bay Sport Fishery, Described by Fonteneau and Le Person (BFT SYMP/017)
    BFT SYMPOSIUM – SANTANDER 2008 REPORT OF THE WORLD SYMPOSIUM FOR THE STUDY INTO THE STOCK FLUCTUATION OF NORTHERN BLUEFIN TUNAS (THUNNUS THYNNUS AND THUNNUS ORIENTALIS), INCLUDING THE HISTORIC PERIODS (Santander, Spain – April 22 to 24, 2008) 1. Background The aim of the Symposium was to provide a deeper investigation of events that took place decades ago and to improve the understanding of these intriguing past events. This information should further help in improving current management and conservation measures for bluefin tuna fisheries. The Symposium was a response to a recommendation of the Standing Committee on Research and Statistics (SCRS) in 2006. Previous studies carried out within the framework of ICCAT have stressed the disappearance of some past fisheries or the drastic fall in the yields of others that generate changes in the spatial distribution of the catches. Although these events occurred in past decades, they have marked the future of the fisheries. In the Atlantic, these events occurred in the 1960s, whereas in the Pacific, during the late 1800s and early 1900s, several fisheries that occurred in northern Japan suddenly disappeared, while more recently, several new fisheries have started in the Sea of Japan and coastal areas of northern Japan. The Symposium was jointly organized by ICCAT and the Instituto Español de Oceanografía-IEO (Spanish Institute of Oceanography). 2. Opening The Symposium was open on April 22, 2008 with an official opening ceremony presided by Dr. Fabio Hazin, ICCAT Chair. Dr. Hazin thanked the Government of Cantabria and the city of Santander for hosting the meeting. The ICCAT Chair emphasized the opportunity of the Symposium in a time when the stock of North Atlantic bluefin tuna, particularly in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea, is facing one of the worst crises in the history of the fishery.

  • 1 Oral History Simuka Smith Dillingham Alaska, June 7, 2017
    Oral History Simuka Smith Dillingham Alaska, June 7, 2017: 4:00 PM Interviewers: Anna Lavoie, Jean Lee, Kim Sparks (PSMFC, NOAA Fisheries AFSC) and Kitty Sopow (BBNA Project Intern). Text in brackets [] signifies interviewer/s interpretations, and/or clarification of the narrative of the interviewee. Text in parentheses () represent nonverbal sounds and activity during interview. Simuka Smith: My name is Simuka and I moved up here to Alaska in 2001 and I started out at the cannery doing payroll and I got into fishing the following year. I was doing it commercially. We went out halibut fishing, longlining. The boats are thirty-two foot out here—we don’t have anything larger. And I would longline out by Togiak, near Hagemeister [Island] for halibut. And we also passed the thing through the fishing commissioner to be able to catch our own fresh bait because buying frozen before we started out that was a little tough because the bait wasn’t always what we were supposed to get. So we would lay out our lines and then we’d go off toward where the herring are and just throw in our net and pull it in and we’d have over a thousand pounds of herring bait. We’d do our spill and we made more time for ourselves. I think it was 2004, we managed to petition more time for being out on the water for halibut. We’d carry at least 3,000 tons of ice on each trip and we used to come back loaded and we’d fill the town first—We’d sell all that out at the harbor before we would sell to the canneries.

  • Atlantic Bluefin Tuna? A: the Bluefin Tuna Is One of the World’S Most Remarkable Fish
    Frequently Asked Questions Click on the headings to jump to that particular section 1. Global Trade Analysis Questions 2. General Bluefin Questions 3. ICCAT Questions 4. Italian Driftnet Questions GLOBAL TRADE ANALYSIS 1. Q: What is this trade analysis, and why was it needed? A: This analysis is a comprehensive picture of the international trade in the northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean bluefin tuna, conducted by Roberto Mielgo Bregazzi, an independent bluefin tuna expert based in Madrid. Mielgo used a methodology that he developed to compare the amount of bluefin tuna actually traded on the global market, to the amount that should be traded, based on official catch limits, also known as quotas, which are set by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). The Pew Environment Group commissioned the report to examine if recent management and compliance measures adopted by ICCAT have been effective in reducing the amount of illegal and unreported bluefin tuna being caught in the northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea. 2. Q: How was the analysis conducted? A: The author compiled official trade data from sources around the world, including import and export data from the European Union, United States, Japan and Croatia. He then converted this import and export data into ‘wild round weight’ -i.e., the weight of a fish when it was caught- using various industry-accepted conversion factors. This information was then compared to official ICCAT ‘adjusted’ quotas (quantified in metric tons of ‘wild round weight’) in order to quantify the amount of bluefin tuna caught in excess of yearly quotas set by ICCAT.
