As well they stated that its believed that adult or mature tuna can burn off the radiation rapidly, but the "shocking results" were published on 15# test subjects, a 15# bluefin is hardly a mature fish.

Pacific BFT are a distinct species from Atlantic BFT, I don't think they intermingle (and don't spawn together). I don't think radiation is a threat to the Atlantic stock (but I'm no expert). However, if demand drops for Pacific BFT out of fear, it will certainly increase demand for Atlantic BFT.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
