Tuna, particularly the Bluefin species among others, is being overfished by factory boats. The Japanese are stockpiling Bluefin in hopes of cornering the market when it goes extinct. The Americans have been overfishers, as well as the Europeans. Canadians aren't so bad as the regulations are in place and the fisherment follow them. Populations are at 15% of pre-fishery levels as demand for Sushi is high. Recently there's been a push to put Bluefins on the CITES list. Canada has sided with Japan in opposing this. Shame.

I generally avoid eating seafood, but have lapses. I've sworn myself off of Sushi. I'd like to organize protests in front of restaurants known to serve shark fin soup.

Boycott the T Pot Bistro in Calgary. They serve shark fin soup.
