> There's a school of thought presented in David Chang's documentary where we're going to be one of the last generations to consume wild bluefin tuna. Because we've industrialized fishing them at this point.

I'd like to see some stats to back this up, considering the IUCN has taken the bluefin off its "red list," and even a brief Wikipedia search seems to indicate that the recent application of regional fishing quotas is having its desired effect, though apparently some local populations are struggling.

Pacific Bluefin Tuna (and all bluefin tuna) should be avoided. IUCN isn't really the best forum for advice on this as it takes into account government and industry interests - by the time they mark a food species as on the red list it's very, very late.

The Monterey Aquarium seafood guide is the best that I'm aware of and they recommend avoiding all bluefin tuna:

No they haven't. Nothing gets taken off the Red List (e.g. the Brown Rat is on the Red List: https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/19353/165118026). It's the Red List rating that matters, and Atlantic Bluefin is listed as Endangered. https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/21860/76599358

Stats on the ocean are hard to measure, because, well, it isn't easy. However, as this documentary points out, there's so many reasons to not make people aware. I had no idea about halibut.

So many things I didn't appreciate, and this is probably the most important documentary to watch this decade.
