The E.U. Commission announced Nov.16 its decision to cut catches of the threatened Atlantic bluefin tuna next year.
The E.U.executive said the decision by countries including the E.U. U.S. and Japan to limit 2010 catch quotas to 13,500 tons aims to prevent overfishing of the much sought after tuna.
Scientists have said the current haul is 7,000 tons over what they would advise.
The body sets annual fishing limits in an effort to save the fish stock from extinction.
