Bluefin tuna start life as tiny larvae, and grow quickly, and can reach lengths of 15 feet and way up to 2,00 pounds. This makes them a prize catch in the fishing industry, as well as top ocean predators. There are three species of bluefin tuna: the Pacific, the Southern, and the Atlantic – the largest and most endangered of the three.
These fish are considered to be a luxury food item, commonly used in high-end sushi and sashimi – they’re not the type you find in cans! A single bluefin tuna can fetch as much as $1.75 million. This potential for high profits means they are overfished and illegally fished, which is causing their population to decline dramatically. The Atlantic species have already decreased by 85%.
When you buy a 4Ocean Bluefin Tuna Bracelet, you will be pulling a pound of trash from the ocean, as well as raising awareness for this magnificent fish.
This bracelet is one size fits all and has an adjustable strap.
