US fishermen will catch less Pacific bluefin tuna for the next two years

US regulators are cutting the amount of Pacific bluefin tuna that commercial fishermen can catch in 2025 and 2026. This means fewer tuna will be caught to help conserve the species.

International agreements often set fishing limits, but this rule translates those limits into specific catch quotas for US boats. This directly affects how much tuna US fishermen can bring to market and how much money they can make. It also means that the US is upholding its part of a global effort to prevent overfishing of a vulnerable species.
