The Atlantic bluefin tuna is also a victim of overfishing, and environmentalists say the world has a chance to save it by cutting fishing quotas dramatically at a conference in Paris that started Wednesday Nov.17, 2010. (AP Photo/Christophe Ena)AP - France, Spain and other Mediterranean nations forced the European Union to retreat Thursday from an ambitious plan to save the threatened and prized bluefin tuna.
