This will make the fisherman sick. This isn't Mexico, but the good ole USofA.

That blows. Maybe some of the last big bluefin breeders in the Atlantic.

The Diana Marie IS one of the last three seiners permitted to work bluefin, but I'm not too impressed with this report unless we knew who the author is--I'm not a member, so I can't look at his/her profile.

There doesn't seem to be any other info out there to support this report. If the author has first-hand info, then either the fishery has recovered well, or they just set it back dramatically.
