In the latest Eat This Newsletter, the surprisingly rapid recovery of Pacific Bluefin Tuna, more than 10 years ahead of schedule. Naturally Japan now wants to increase the quotas that enabled that recovery. https://buttondown.email/jeremycherfas/archive/etn-244-tuna/
Japan did get an increase in Pacific Bluefin Tuna quota, but not as much as it originally wanted. Increase of 50% for big fish and 10% for smaller fish. They originally wanted 230% and 30% respectively, so that really is a win for scientific management.
