Bluefin tuna fetches ₹4.3 crore at Tokyo auction
A bluefin tuna has fetched £517,000 (₹4.3 crore) at the first Tsukiji auction of 2017 in Tokyo, amid fears the species is close to extinction due to overfishing. The 212-kg-fish was bought by a restaurant that has outbid rivals for the sixth consecutive year. Restaurants, aiming to turn the publicity into a marketing opportunity, make high bids at the auction.
