In South Korea, fishermen caught a tuna worth $1.9 million and returned it to the sea

According to glavcom.ua: Fishermen in South Korea have become the main heroic news – it turns out they were notably clumsy. While catching mackerel and squid, they accidentally stumbled upon a catch of tuna worth $1.9 million! Think twice before pressing random buttons, friends.

After reaching the quota, any fisherman caught selling or exporting bluefin tuna to shore can be punished with imprisonment for up to two years or a fine of 20 million won ($14,500) according to the Fisheries Act.

Last year alone, more than 1,000 tunas were thrown back into the sea due to exceeding the quota. However, this is not surprising given the growing popularity of this fish among amateurs and professionals due to climate change. Now limits are firmly established to protect the species from destruction by the unfortunate.
