The bluefin tuna, who truly ought to be the WWF's marine equivalent of the panda, took another knock in their struggle for viability due to the BP oil spill. The oil flowed over one of the tuna's two GulfMex spawning grounds, killing off a significant number of the larval fish (estimated 20% impact).
When a fish stock is thus overfished, every little larval fish counts. So this should make it even more important and more pressing to not eat bluefin tuna.
Japan, are you listening?
