Topic: The Decline and Management of the Southern Bluefin Tuna

Summary paragraph: My paper will intend to explore the topic of the decline and management of the Southern Bluefin Tuna. I chose this topic because I am an avid Sushi fan and am curious as to why the SBT is so much more expensive than the rest. My paper will discuss the marketing of fish specifying the Southern Bluefin Tuna. It will also discuss a background of the SBT including breeding grounds, migration and size. I will also talk about the price per fish and what this means. Also I will talk about the fishing of the Tuna including treaties and management to keep the population at a healthy sustainable level.
