To see whether the regional emissions reductions were having an effect on fish at the top of the ocean food chain, researchers from Stony Brook University, the University of Massachusetts and Harvard University collected and analyzed tissue samples from nearly 1,300 Atlantic
bluefin tuna captured between 2004 and 2012.
WWF is holding a 1 - day Symposium on Responsible Consumption of
Tuna here tomorrow where it hopes that government officials, seafood industry representatives, and ordinary consumers will listen to talks on how overfishing,
capturing juvenile
tunas for fish farming, and poor fisheries management has driven
bluefin stocks to 15 % of historical levels.
