Disappointment at the outcome of tuna conference in Croatia

A special meeting of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) has ended on a disappointing note. The commission in Croatia failed to reach a consensus on protective measures for the most valued fish- the bigeye tuna. As things stand its population will crash within a decade. Some experts stated that if the quota is set to 50,000 tonnes per year, the fish could get a 70 percent chance of recovery by 2028.
