Personally, I am planning to abstain from ALL tuna for next 3 years. All tuna since it is easier to get the message across this way instead of selectively target bluefin as many people don't distinguish them much. I'm going to miss my Tuna Ramen special.
I'm sure the Japanese government has already completely sequenced the blue-fin's DNA and has developed artificial farming techniques already.

The only reason they aren't revealing it is to artificially keep the price of good Toro high to satisfy the sushi lobby.

Fact is, my favorite is binchou anyway
