"Mitsubishi [the car maker], holds a tight grasp of a 40% share in the world market for Bluefin tuna"
"Is importing thousands and thousands of pounds of Bluefin tuna from the Mediterranean to Tokyo fish markets. They also have a massive freezer, where they have acquired a stock reserve of Bluefin tuna. As the number of fish reaches a record low, the price of tuna meat will continue to rise.
