     Scientists warn today that the Atlantic bluefin tuna(金枪鱼)faces disappearance unless certain

action is taken. They used electronic ways to track the movement of the powerful fish from the

Gulf of Mexico to the Mediterranean, and report today in the journal Nature that meals of sushi

and sandwiches with tuna worldwide are more dangerous than anyone has imagined.

     The bluefin tuna can live for 30 years, grow to three metres in length and weigh as much as

700kg. A good one can fetch as much as ? 52,000 in the Tokyo fish markets. "In my lifetime,

we've brought this big fish to the doorstep of death in the western Atlantic Ocean," said Barbara

Block of Stanford University in California. "The electronic way of tracks provides the best scientific

information we've ever had to manage these tuna and we must, as an international community, start

to act actively to make sure of the future of this fish. "

      Scientists have repeatedly said that the harvest of the seas cannot be as good as before. There

are fewer and fewer fish in around Newfoundland, North Sea and Iceland, so fishermen have

pushed further offshore in search of deep ocean fish. Tuna-in the Mediterranean and Japan-have

been under increasing pressure for years. The International Commission on the Conservation of

Atlantic Tuna has tried to manage the fish since 1969.There are two populations: a western one

that has dropped by 80% in the past 30 years, and a larger, eastern population. Although catches

are controlled by 3,000 tons a year in the western fishery, and 32,000 in the east, no one knew

whether the limits worked.

      So Professor Block and her team placed tracks on hundreds of the fish and tracked them to

depths of more than 900 metres and on journeys of thousands of miles, measuring the movement,

body and water temperatures. "There are two ways to save the Atlantic bluefin tuna-protect them

in their production grounds and in their feeding grounds," Prof. Block said. "This will need immediate

action in both the central Atlantic, to reduce the loss of the big fish while hunting, and in the Gulf of

Mexico and Mediterranean, where tuna produce as separate populations. "
