- Summary:
- The red meat of the Mediterranean's bluefin tuna is a favorite in Japanese cuisine. Over 50 million tons of tuna are sold each year in the Tokyo fish market, the biggest in the world, where the price of tuna has soared to over €1,000 a kilo. But the sushi boom is threatening the species. "Everyone in the business knows we're killing the goose that laid the golden eggs," insists Robert Mielgo. And he knows what he's talking about. For years he was a diver for one of the first tuna farms and saw firsthand how catches have soared way above the authorized limits. Now he has decided to fight back against the monster that he helped create and he has become the main witness against an industry grown fat on plundering tuna stocks. The authorized limit for fishing in the Mediterranean is 32,000 tons, but experts estimate that over 50,000 tons are being caught each year.
