BOOK REVIEW

Tuna: a love story by Richard Ellis

In ten words or less: Everything you always wanted to know about tuna.
Because of the popularity of tuna as a food fish, especially in Japan where it is prized as sushi, it is now on the brink of extinction. The seas have been over-

Fished, and now “tuna ranches”—similar to cattle feed lots—have become Multi-million dollar businesses.
Ellis addresses the importance of tuna to the global economy, the ocean ecosystems, and as a food and sport fish. No longer will you take the ubiquitous can of tuna for granted.

Why bother? Great insight into how humans are driving fish and the fishing industry into extinction.
