When I am up to no good, I normally fix myself a tuna salad sandwich for a snack. Mixed with Miracle Whip mayo and some veggies, this sandwich tastes great. But, I think I am going to stop eating Tuna. Scientists predict that Tuna fish will soon be extinct.

If you consider the amount of Sushi we humans eat through out the world, specially in the sushi homeland Japan, you will understand the point I am trying to make here. A prize tuna catch is huge and will also sell big. Tuna has become the key attraction of Japanese diet.

But, fisheries researchers predict that if Tuna is consumed at the current rate, there will be no more Tuna left to fish eventually. At least this is what British scientists believe. This report was published in the Journal of Science.With the fishnets getting bigger, vessels getting larger and Tuna fans on the rise, pretty soon we will find the school of Tuna to disappear. So, you might have to change your food habits pretty soon.
