The SCMP reported that the Yacht Club, the Marco Polo Hotel and Pret a Manger (??) are banning the sale of Bluefin Tuna in their outlets. This is a good step. More is needed.
Living Seas Hong Kong is distressed about the critical situation that this beautiful animal finds itself. Hong Konger’s are guiilty, guilt , guilty of ignoring the facts and only worrying about their stomachs…
Have a look at a previous article from Living Seas Wild about bluefin
Also here is an interesting little gem that I found on GeoExpat.com
“Just heard they’re going to extinct in two and a half years time, so I’ll be damned if I don’t find some good restaurants that serve this oh-so-tasty delicacy that I can visit regularly before it disappears.
Any recommendations? I’d kill for some otoro right now”
Scary….
So the motto is, don’t eat bluefin tuna, not until sustainable methods for capture or aquaculture is found.
