The Toyosu Market in Tokyo, Japan is a 4 million square foot area for squid, mackerel, and, most importantly, tuna. The market is home to the world-renowned tuna auctions, where expert bidders bet millions of dollars on top-tier tuna. But the population of tuna is on the decline, specifically bluefin tuna, which is known as the king of sushi. Business Insider follows expert bidder Takayuki Shinoda inside the fast-paced world of tuna bidding and its role in marine life sustainability.

How A 600 Pound Tunafish Sells For $3 Million At The Largest Fish Market In The World | Big Business

Bruh a 97 percent decline
Who buys most of it? Bumble Bee? The world will never really know.
Stop over fishing for tuna and you won’t have to work out not having any to catch pretty simple if you think about it dip stick
Just japan with stupid and bullshit price
Oceans are dying, and these people are eating whatever is left. Shame Shame.
Sorry, but Japan is very much known to overfish almost everything. Tuna, whales, etc…Then cry and want sympathy about the low populations. It is their own fault.
Asians eat everything to extinction
"Tuna went down 97%" … "I am worried that we don't have tuna in 10 years" … "truckloads of tuna arrive EVERY HOUR" …. Well I wonder why it's declining.
Japan screwing the world again!!
Why arent women allowed access to this market? Entire video not one women is allowed aside reporter voice over. Sick
WOW!!! So much tuna. 🐟
I wonder if any cats stole any free tuna? 😺
they have over fished the hell out of tuna .it should be regulated but no
613 lb = 278 kilo…
If each person served to 0.05 kilo (50 grams)
278 ÷ 0.05 = 5,560
5,560 person can get for 0.05 kilo (50 grams)
If the price for dining is 800 USD
$800 × 5,560 person = $4,448,000.00
Everyone complaining about overfishing, the united states has nothing to do with overfishing i am in the fish business myself, and trust me there are plenty of fish here. Japan on the other hand doesn't have the laws that we do so they get their research over there then blame it on us American fishermen and come up with all of these rules and regulations that we didn't need over here in the first place. So don't beleive everything you hear the world is 71% ocean there are plenty of fish.
If the tuna species is endangered, put it on a protected-species list so it can repopulate. Tuna tastes amazing and it would be heartbreaking to see it go instinct.
Well the other thing is Japan is one of the top countries that use fish in most of their food, not just sushi. Their country itself needs a huge demand of fish at all times…it's going to be tricky on how they will keep up with this demand in the long run
If we actually appreciated how little of the ocean has been explored, let alone fished, then we wouldn't be worried.
3 million?
So about $6-$8 per gram to break even –
Who needs asteroids when you have humans to wipe out a species. 97%? Really? 97%? Wtf?
yes. turrets. amazing
Not a single hair net
Maybe there's a way to replenish
The world population has quadrupled in 93 years…
Mankind is a parasite. We need to lower our numbers. Especially certain demographics.
Tunafish lol
in English its just called tuna perhaps its time for the USA to speak its other language, spanish
the fisher men in denmark get blue fin tuna in around 450 to 600 kg but wen they are sold in denmark they are sold for 25.000 dollars
1:10 hmmm I wonder why.
Vanity will lead to consume themselves near in the future.
Quit believing everything
