NEW YORK -- Progress toward conserving endangered Pacific bluefin tuna is not enough to keep up with the pace of fishing, and the industry faces the risk of collapse, said Amanda Nickson, director for Global Tuna Conservation at the Pew Charitable Trusts.
"Pacific bluefin is still being fished at least 20% above the level it would be sustainable, and its population is still severely depleted," she said. "In the future, that population could ultimately collapse and be incapable of supporting a commercial fishery."
