    Great video, the resource is exhaustable, at this point EVERY fish counts,its good to know that they are aware of the problems associated with overfishing but thats probably B.S. so he doesn,t look bad to the reporters, historically the people in the orient have no respect or stewardship towards nature and the balance of the enviroment , whether in the sea or in the forest.

    Thats great they realize the problem but there is no way in hell they care enough to do anything about it. Did you hear any suggestion of a solution? I sure as hell didn't, personally I think thus guy bullsh**in us all. Come on, who actually thinks Japanese culture will do anything, they love their tuna too much. They will continue to fish the sh** out of bluefin until there is no more, and that time aint far off. Lets not give this guy, or Japan, any credit until they do something about it. Great, you finally realize that this resource is exhaustable, your only a few decades behind the rest of us, do something about it!

    I think they are now willing it admit it now because "that time" is pretty much already here.

    a hundred and seventy three thousand dollars for one tuna!?!? WOW!

    The first step to fixing a problem is admitting you have one. Maybe they're not fixing it just yet, but at least they have recognized it.

    Thanks for posng that vid. I was glued to the computer for all 5 minutes and 18 seconds.
