FILES-SEA-ENVIRONMENT-FISH-TUNA
(FILES) File photo dated May 26, 2010 shows a tuna fishing boat dragging a cage of nets in the Mediterranean Sea during a Greenpeace protest action dubbed "Stop the bluefin tuna massacre - create marine reserves now!", against overfishing of tuna stocks. The craze for sushi has fueled a black market in tuna worth billions of dollars, as governments collaborate with the industry despite fears for the species' survival, an investigation released on November 7, 2010 found. A seven-month probe by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists found that fishermen have willfully violated official quotas in order to supply the lucrative tuna market, which is dominated by Japan. The investigation covered 10 nations but found particular violations in France, where it said the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries has joined forces with the tuna industry to doctor catch numbers.
