PORTLAND, Me (WGAN) The highly prized Bluefin Tuna appears to be slowly recovering in the Atlantic Ocean, prompting fishermen to seek bigger commercial catch quotas and environmentalists to call for a more conservative approach.
The tuna is one of the most recognizable fish in the Atlantic, and it’s prized by anglers and the sushi industry.
The fish can weigh 1,000 pounds and is listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
