Hi, ladies!
From TIME magazine;
A tough catch
“The relentless hunt for tuna is harming not just the fish but businesses, consumers and the planet”
It is said that; The world’s tuna trade is an awesome 21st century hunt. But these days the chase is becoming unsustainable for some species of tuna, and some experts believe there is overfishing, saying the ecosystem will begin to get out of balance.
Japan consumes about 80% of the 60,000 tons of bluefin tuna caught around the world each year! Tuna-ranching has proven to be a good way to do business in some area like Philippines.
Oh, time is out...
See you next, good bye!

Hello, Cherry and my precious friends.
How are you feeling today?
Today we’re so lucky to be blessed with marvelous weather although it is a bit windy and cold.
Two days ago, unfortunately, it was rainy weather when I took a bus tour to Mr. Fuji and five lakes, hoping to enjoy beautifully colored autumn leaves there.
Regrettably, unfavorable weather did not allow me to take a look at Mt, Fuji, I might otherwise have seen them.
The good thing is that at least, I could see Mt. Fuji reflecting on Lake Motosu at the back of 1,000 Yen note.
I remembered the names of five Fuji Lakes, such as Lake Kawaguchi, Yamanaka, Shoji, Sai, and Motosu.
Have a nice Sunday, My dear friends.
Hello Cherry and my precious friends.
Cherry, I’m also interested in the article about “ Rare Tuna” in Time magazine. So I tried to summarize it in my own way.
Over-fishing including illegal fishing is contributing to one of the reasons of tuna depletion. Destructive fishing is the biggest problem facing our ocean.
An increasingly demand of tuna production such as sashimi, surimi and canned tuna has triggered the over-fishing, resulting the imbalanced ecosystem in the marine environment.
Fish farming is not the answer. Farmed tuna have huge appetites.
There is no one silver bullet to end overfishing because there is no one thing causing oversifhing.
It is really crucial to try to find a happier marriage between the human demand for tuna and the ecosystem.
It is also necessary to protect livelihoods of fishing communities where local people rely on fish to sustain their health and livelihood.
Time introduces two men who believe that Maguro has a power to move people. They really love tuna.
Heitz, a blond Illinoisan is an out-and-out tuna man working in one of the greatest tuna-fishing ports. He says,”When I see a good tuna, it looks better to me than a woman.”
Katsumi Honda, Irifune’s owner and head sushi chef, is another guy who loves tuna. As a boy, his first bite of Japanese hon maguro, or bluefin, inspired him to become a chef of sushi restaurant. He added that “Once you experience our natural maguro, you cannot go to a conveyor-belt sushi place anymore.”
Those who respect tuna will suffer a lot if a law would temporarily ban its trade.
On the other hand, in San Francisco and Seattle, two restaurants are already running popular sustainable-sushi bars, with menus designed around plentiful, local ingredients.
You cannot of course taste tuna here in these restaurants.
Have a nice Sunday evening.
Hi, ladies!!!
Peach, thank you for your reply concerning Lenley’s departure day. I just hope he is interested in talking about London so that we could hold a talk show just like the one we had before.
Over the past few days, I had an extremely hectic schedule and almost no time just for myself. But probably next week I will have less hectic days.
Ms. Fujiswa is joining us for the last tutorial to be held in December. She is coming to attend a regular meeting of the academic association she belongs to that is held somewhere in Nagoya on Saturday, one day before our tutorial.
Hope you had a terrific and fabulous weekend, my precious friends. Good night to you all.
