Harpoon fishermen can now catch half as many large bluefin tuna

The daily limit for harpoon fishing for large bluefin tuna was cut in half. Vessels can now keep 5 large tuna per day instead of 10.

This rule directly cuts how many large bluefin tuna harpoon fishermen can keep each day. It means less income for those specific fishermen, and it is a small step to protect a fish population that has been under pressure for decades.
