SAN FRANCISCO- Pacific bluefin tuna yafika pa chiwerengero chochepa kwambiri cha anthu, kotero mgwirizano wa anthu ndi magulu lero apempha National Marine Fisheries Service kuti ateteze zamoyo pansi pa Endangered Species Act. Chiwerengero cha nsomba za tuna ku Pacific chatsika ndi 97 peresenti kuyambira pomwe usodzi unayamba, makamaka chifukwa chakuti mayiko alephera kuchepetsa usodzi kuti ateteze mitundu yodziwika bwino ya nsomba, chinthu chapamwamba kwambiri pazakudya za sushi. 

“Popanda thandizo, tingaone nsomba yomaliza ya Pacific bluefin ikugulitsidwa ndipo ikutha,” anatero Catherine Kilduff wa pa Center for Biological Diversity. “Kafukufuku watsopano wama tagi waunikira zinsinsi za komwe nsomba zazikulu za bluefin zimaswana ndi kusamuka, kotero titha kuthandiza kupulumutsa mitundu yofunikayi. Kuteteza nsomba zochititsa chidwizi motsatira lamulo la Endangered Species Act ndiye chiyembekezo chomaliza, chifukwa oyang'anira usodzi alephera kuziletsa kuti zisafalikire.”  

Ofunsira omwe akupempha kuti a Fisheries Service atchule nsomba za Pacific bluefin zomwe zili pachiwopsezo akuphatikizapo Center for Biological Diversity, The Ocean Foundation, Earthjustice, Center for Food Safety, Defenders of Wildlife, Greenpeace, Mission Blue, Recirculating Farms Coalition, The Safina Center, SandyHook SeaLife Foundation. , Sierra Club, Turtle Island Restoration Network ndi WildEarth Guardians, komanso ogula zakudya zam'nyanja zokhazikika Jim Chambers.

"Nyama yokongola komanso yochita bwino kwambiri iyi ndiyofunika kwambiri kuti chilengedwe chikhale bwino m'nyanja," atero a Mark Spalding, Purezidenti wa The Ocean Foundation. “Mwatsoka, nsombazi zilibe pobisalira ku magulu aanthu osodza maukonde apamwamba kwambiri, akutali, komanso osodza maukonde aakulu. Sikulimbana koyenera, motero nsomba ya Pacific bluefin tuna itayika. "

Powonjezera nkhawa yokhudzana ndi kuchuluka kwa nsomba za tuna kuchepera pa 3 peresenti ya anthu osasodza, pafupifupi nsomba zonse za Pacific bluefin zomwe zimakololedwa masiku ano zimagwidwa zisanabereke, zomwe zimasiya zochepa kuti zikhwime ndi kufalitsa zamoyozo. Mu 2014 gulu la nsomba za Pacific Bluefin linatulutsa chiwerengero chachiwiri chotsika kwambiri cha nsomba zazing'ono kuyambira 1952. Magulu ochepa chabe a zaka zachikulire a Pacific bluefin tuna alipo, ndipo izi zidzatha posachedwapa chifukwa cha ukalamba. Popanda nsomba zazing'ono kuti zikhwime m'malo mwa okalamba, tsogolo la Pacific bluefin silikhala bwino pokhapokha ngati atachitapo kanthu kuti athetse kuchepaku.

"Kudyetsa msika wosakhutitsidwa wa sushi padziko lonse lapansi kwachititsa kuti nsomba ya Pacific bluefin ichepe ndi 97 peresenti," atero a Phil Kline, wochita kampeni wamkulu panyanja ku Greenpeace. "Popeza kuti Pacific bluefin tsopano yatsala pang'ono kutheratu sikuti mndandanda womwe uli pachiwopsezo uyenera kutha, komanso udachedwa. Ana amafunikira chitetezo chonse chomwe tingawapatse. ”

Kuyambira Lolemba, June 27 ku La Jolla, Calif., Mayiko adzakambirana za kuchepetsa nsomba za Pacific bluefin tuna pamsonkhano wa Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission. Zizindikiro zonse zikuwonetsa kuti Commission ikufuna kukhalabe ndi momwe zinthu ziliri, zomwe sizokwanira kuthetsa kusodza mopambanitsa, osalolanso kulimbikitsa kuchira kumagulu athanzi.

“Taganizirani izi: nsomba za mtundu wa Bluefin zimatenga zaka khumi kuti zikhwime ndi kuberekana, koma ambiri amagwidwa ndi kugulitsidwa ngati ana, zomwe zimasokoneza kuchulukira kwa mitundu ya nsombazo. M’zaka 50 zapitazi, luso lazopangapanga latithandiza kupha 90 peresenti ya nsomba za tuna ndi zamoyo zina,” anatero Dr. Sylvia Earle, National Geographic explorer-in-residence ndiponso woyambitsa bungwe la Mission Blue. "Mtundu wina ukagwidwa, timapita ku mtundu wina, zomwe sizothandiza m'nyanja komanso zomwe sizili bwino kwa ife."

“Pafupifupi zaka zana limodzi lausodzi wopanda tsankho ndi wopanda malire wa nsomba ya tuna ya Pacific bluefin sunangobweretsa nsombayo kuthengo, komanso yachititsa kuti nyama za m’madzi zosawerengeka, akamba am’nyanja ndi shaki zigwidwe ndi kuphedwa ndi zida zophera nsomba,” anatero. Jane Davenport, loya wamkulu ku Defenders of Wildlife.

“Nsomba ya Pacific bluefin tuna ndi yaikulu, yamagazi ofunda, nthaŵi zambiri utali wa mamita asanu ndi limodzi, ndipo imodzi mwa nsomba zazikulu kwambiri, zothamanga kwambiri ndi zokongola kwambiri pa nsomba zonse za padziko lapansi. Ilinso pachiwopsezo, "adatero Doug Fetterly wa Sierra Club. "Poganizira momwe zinthu zilili chifukwa cha kuchepa kwa chiwerengero cha anthu ndi 97 peresenti, kusodza mopitirira muyeso, komanso kuwonjezeka kwa mavuto obwera chifukwa cha kusintha kwa nyengo, gulu la Sierra Club Marine Action Team likufuna kuteteza zamoyo zofunika kwambirizi pozitchula kuti zatsala pang'ono kutha. Popanda chitetezo chimenechi, nsomba ya Pacific bluefin tuna ipitirizabe kugwa.”

"Pacific bluefin ikhoza kukhala nsomba yomwe ili pachiwopsezo padziko lonse lapansi," adatero Carl Safina, Purezidenti woyambitsa wa The Safina Center. “Kuwononga kwawo mopanda tsankho komanso kosayendetsedwa bwino ndi mlandu wotsutsana ndi chilengedwe. Ngakhale pazachuma, ndi chitsiru.”

"Kutsala pang'ono kutha kwa Pacific bluefin ndi chitsanzo chinanso cha kulephera kwathu kukula - kapena pankhaniyi, kugwira - chakudya chathu mokhazikika," adatero Adam Keats, loya wamkulu ku Center for Food Safety. “Tiyenera kusintha njira zathu ngati titi tipulumuke. Tikukhulupirira kuti sikunachedwe ndi bluefin. "

"Zilakolako zosakhutitsidwa za anthu zikukhuthula nyanja zathu," adatero Taylor Jones, wochirikiza zamoyo zomwe zatsala pang'ono kutha ku WildEarth Guardians. "Tiyenera kuletsa kukoma kwathu kwa sushi ndikuchitapo kanthu kuti tipulumutse nyama zakuthengo zodabwitsa ngati nsomba ya bluefin kuti isathere."

"Kutchula nsomba za Pacific Bluefin monga zamoyo zomwe zatsala pang'ono kutha zidzalola nsomba zachinyamata zosawerengeka kuti zifike pa msinkhu, motero zimathandiza kumanganso nsomba zomwe zathazi. Vuto lalikulu, ndithudi, ndi kulamulira kusodza kosalamulirika ndi kosaloledwa m’madzi padziko lonse, nkhani imene iyenera kuthetsedwa padziko lonse,” anatero Mary M. Hamilton wa SandyHook SeaLife Foundation.   

Todd Steiner, yemwe ndi katswiri wa sayansi ya zamoyo komanso mkulu wa bungwe la Turtle Island Restoration Network, anati: “Anthu amene amadya sushi amene akufunafuna udindo akudya nsomba zikuluzikulu za bluefin mpaka kuzimiririka ndipo tiyenera kusiya panopa, nthawi isanathe. “Kuika Pacific bluefin pamndandanda wa Zamoyo Zamoyo Zosatha ndi sitepe yoyamba yothetsa kupha nyama ndi kuika zamoyo zodabwitsazi panjira yochira.”

Jim Chambers, mwiniwake wa Prime Seafood, Jim Chambers anati: "Bluefin ndi nsomba zosinthika kwambiri kuposa nsomba zonse ndipo chifukwa cha mphamvu zawo zazikulu komanso kulimba mtima zimawonedwa ngati zovuta kwambiri pakusodza nyama zazikulu. Tingofunika kupulumutsa nsomba zamtengo wapatali kwambiri padziko lapansi nthawi isanathe.”
