The word is in on bigeye....

The word is in on bigeye tuna. For the past 5 years catches have stayed somewhat below the quota of 85,000 metric tons (mt) -that is 187,000,000 pounds- and the stock has responded positively and is no longer overfished. The assessment scientists recommend that catches not be allowed to exceed 85,000 mt and that no increases be allowed on juvenile fish.
