Eating Bluefin Tuna Into Extinction

In this short documentary, the consumption of the bluefin tuna is highlighted, showing how over time humans have almost exterminated the entire species. With not much bluefins left in the Pacific Ocean, where it is generally found, the prices of these fish has become extremely high. Bluefin tunas are typically used for sushi, the Japanese raw seafood that has become highly popular throughout the world. These fish grow to be very large which explains their high price points. But, with bluefins coming closer to extinction, many sushi and seafood chefs have stopped serving the fish to allow for repopulation. However, others choose to continue serving bluefins because they find it to be the best fish of all. With the high demand for bluefin tuna, it is possible that the species could go extinct, but with the efforts of more chefs refusing to serve bluefin, the fish could be saved from their eminent future.
