in bluefin tuna caught in Libyan waters, fearing illegal catches could push
the endangered fish closer to extinction amid the chaos of war. Atlantic
bluefin fetch more than $100,000 each in markets such as Japan, but stocks
have plunged by more than 80 percent since the 1970s due to overfishing, many
scientists say. High-tech fishing vessels using echo-sounders are so efficient
at locating and netting the fish when they go to spawn in the Mediterranean
that a season's quota can be met in just 10 days. Further fishing can inflict
long-term damage.
