Ocean Issues: Overfishing

A single 269kg (593lb) bluefin tuna sold for almost 3/4 of a million dollars.

BBC News reports that the world record price paid for bluefin tuna was recently broken.

56.49m yen ($736,000, £472,125) was paid for a single bluefin tuna at Tokyo's Tsukiji fish market's first auction of the year.

Only last year, the previous record price was paid for  a 342kg bluefin tuna caught off Japan's northern island of Hokkaido for 32.49m yen, or nearly $400,000 (£257,320).
