sustainable fish

MARSEILLE (France) - ITALY, France, Japan and Spain are guilty of the biggest violations of international quotas for bluefin tuna fishing, a report claimed on Wednesday.

Countries are assigned fishing quotas by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) to help avert the eventual extinction of the fish, which is highly prized for Japanese sushi and sashimi.

As announced today by the World Wildlife Fund, The American Albacore Fishing Association, based in San Diego, CA was officially certified by the Marine Stewardship Council as the world’s first sustainable fishery.
