Discussion already begun in Fisheries Management. Have to remember that this is just a Cultural Event as the first tuna of the year caught from Japanese Waters is a prize that every Japanese Company strives to claim. It in no way represents the true market value of these fish.

Another Record Japanese New Year Tuna

Not important, it's a ritual, not a value assessment. Based on the current exchange rate $3.07 million.
