Bluefin Tuna: Season Closes Early After Rapid Quota Fill: NOAA closed the Atlantic bluefin tuna General category on December 5—weeks earlier than expected—after fishermen rapidly filled the remaining annual quota. The shutdown runs through December 31, meaning no more U.S.-caught bluefin will hit the market this month.
The quick closure tightens supply immediately. Canadian fish will help, but pricing is expected to firm until the U.S. season reopens in January. Be sure to keep in touch with your account manager for more information on availability.
