The Giant Tuna of the Atlantic has been over-harvested for decades. The present population is around ten percent of bygone times, per National Marine Fisheries (a division of NOAA).
At one time, the Japanese were paying $60 to $100 per pound, fresh, at the dock, and flying them to Japan...I didn't miss a decimal, either!
Grocery-store tuna are mostly Pacific Yellowfin.
