Outline of Final Research Achievements

How has the international society coped with the problem of overfishing highly-migratory tuna fish? Above all, how has Japan dealt with this problem since it consumes large quantities of sashimi tuna (Atlantic bluefin, Pacific bluefin and Southern bluefin tuna) and skipjack tuna? As the result of this research project that conducted a field study about conservation and management measures for tuna across five major regional fisheries management organizations, it became crystal clear that adequate catch limits are essential for sustainable fisheries while fish stocks relatively maintain a sound stock level.
