  • The Toyosu Market in Tokyo, Japan is a 4 million square foot area for squid, mackerel, and, most importantly, tuna. The market is home to the world-renowned tuna auctions, where expert bidders bet millions of dollars on top-tier tuna. But the population of tuna is on the decline, specifically bluefin tuna, which is known as the king of sushi. Business Insider follows expert bidder Takayuki Shinoda inside the fast-paced world of tuna bidding and its role in marine life sustainability.

      The problem is that these large fish don't reproduce and grow up that quickly, so they don't reach maturity until 5 years. That means you would actually need multiples of that age in order for the population to really recover, which would mean decades of decreased or no catching

    I've heard in some countries, when they hunt land animals, every 5-7 seasons they have 1 full year no hunting year when all the animals can reproduce and leave their offspring to boost population, but for sure there are seasons when you can hunt each of the species.
    I think this needs to be implemented in regards to marine life too.

    The problem of declining catches due to overfishing is not limited to Japan. There is no change in the fact that it is a problem that fishermen in countries all over the world must think about. Even if one country regulates the amount of fish caught, it doesn't make sense if fishermen in another country are overfishing. Tuna is not the only tuna that is endangered due to overfishing, and if sushi becomes more popular around the world in the future, it will undoubtedly become a major problem.

In usual auction, the price would be some ten thousand dollars. The gift price also depends on the economic state of the year. $3 million at 2019 was the highest among recent years.

    It's so weird
    Here in Ireland our Bluefin population is higher than ever. The Tuinnín here is the Northeastern Atlantic Bluefin tuna stock that migrates from the Mediterranean to Northern waters to feed. They migrate to Ireland from Summer to late Autumn. In
    Ireland it is legal to fish for Tuinnín as a sport fish on a C&R basis. A tagging programme was also setup to moniter the stock. It is illegal to fish for them commercially Irish waters.
    They're increased population has also been noted in the UK and Norway. But Ireland has had the best explosion by far. 600lb is the average Tuinnín and a big one is 800 + . They are mostly caught on the West, North West and South West Coasts. The counties are Gaillimh, Maigh Eo, Corcaigh and Dún na nGall. Irelands population of massive Bluefin Tuna is because we outlawed the commercial catching and sale of this amazing species. Most fisherman who caught Tuinnín commercialy now run Fishing guide boats from all those counties listed to catch and release some big game Bluefin. The rest of the world should learn from this example

    It's insane to me that bluefin tuna is so special. I've tried it so many times and I just hate it. Not that interest flavor wise but the culinary world swears by it. I must be missing something lol.

      seaspiract us riddled with factually wrong claims and overall doesn't understand that going vegan is not an option for most people nor actually is interested in change, attacking the very people that are fighting for the oceans. Oh and the anti-asian tropes scattered throughout. Just a dramatic film to make people feel like they're woke and then continue with their lifes and do nothing.

      @@minty8065 If you don't live in a third world country, you have the means to become vegan. What Seaspiracy said was true. I know you've seen other sources saying otherwise but those are funded by meat corporations. Going vegan is the easiest and most effective way to save the earth. The meat industry pollution is bigger than air, sea and land travel combined. You can recycle, you can compost, drive a Tesla, but when it comes down to the facts stop eating meat is the best option. Have a good day.

    0:42 No tuna is actually worth that much ( $3 million). The winning bidder is the owner of the Zanmai Sushi chain of sushi shops which has dozens of locations - 5 locations in the Tsukiji market alone. He has made winning bids on the most expensive tuna for many years now, and it's done mainly for publicity than for the actual worth of the fish (he sells off that fish at regular prices). He paid a lot of money for the giant fish, but just think of how much free promotion he got, and how much money he saved on other forms of promotions.
