Pacific bluefin tuna for sale at the tuna market in Katsuura on the Kii Peninsula, the premium tuna auction in Japan. The new agreement to protect the tuna is aimed at putting the species on a path to recovery.

The long-term agreement would aid fish stocks that have fallen to just 2.6 percent of their historic size. The news comes at a time when Atlantic bluefin populations are also rebounding.
