VOICED : Cae el precio del atun rojo para sushi

The video discusses the declining prices of Pacific bluefin tuna despite its scarcity. The first auction of the year at Tsukiji market saw a significant price drop compared to 2013. This decline is attributed to increased supply from Japanese coasts and reduced competition. Conservationists criticize the rise in fishing, warning of the species' extinction risk, as 96% of the tuna disappeared from the Pacific last year.
