A Big Fish Sells For Over Half A Million — But Other Big Questions Persist

Every year one fish gets auctioned off for a crazy price to promote the opening of domestic Bluefin season and every year people forget last year.

In Other News record Bluefin catches were reported along the Pacific coast of Mexico & California-fish in numbers unseen for decades.
 
Thank U for sharing this..one never realizes just what is going on out there and that article puts it in perspective.... a loss of a good person and very sad state of affairs of the world fisheries .....
 
Sad reality of life at sea. I'd say all these observersers should be given Sat phones for their own personal safety. It is reckless to send them out on the high seas with hostile foreign crews without a life line.

Good thing I'm not in Donald Trumps shoes because I'd order some good old fashioned American gun boat diplomacy retaliation. Any American observer that went missing on the high seas, so would the boat that was responsible for the observers death. Submarine loses a torpedo, one less pirate fishing vessel. Pretty soon the observers would be feeling a lot safer doing their job and regulations might be taken more seriously. Extreme yes, but what justice will these murdered men ever see for simply performing their jobs of trying to protect the world's endangered fisheries. When the pirate fishing vessels have stripped the last of the remaining oceans bounty, and people are left with no seafood people will moan that someone should have done something sooner. Only it will be too late by then.
