There's a call for a Pacific tuna management agency to call an emergency meeting after it failed to agree on regulations for the coming year. The failure by the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission means tuna stocks in the eastern Pacific are facing an unprecedented threat. The IATTC manages tuna stocks throughout the eastern Pacific but at its recent meeting the members failed to reach agreement on quotas, closed seasons and so on. This has left no controls on tuna fishing in the region.
