Based on that I have seen anywhere from $9 all the way up to $18 a pound but that's pretty hard to get. The buyer still has to make money on it as well and they're covering the cost of shipping packing and tracking to Japan unless they have a middleman which means they need to ensure that they make enough profit to include the middleman

What people don't get that the entire operation is compartmentalized. Fisherman have such limited time and tied to the resources at disposal. Would they love to see some of that retail money? Yes. But they have to get back on the water and catch more fish that's why their margins are setup thay way. Enter the middlemen, they're your fish mongers and distributors. They get the product to into the retail at everyone's convenience. They pay the price off the boat bear the costs of storaging and shipping. Some may even process it. That leaves the consumer and the level convenience they get. Ordering it already prepared as a meal or ingredient. You want $4 p/lb you gotta take the whole fish or don't bother.

Yeah no... Tuna species especially the bluefin were nearly wiped out due to overfishing since the 1950s... populations have slowly began to recover but ONLY because of a 1 fish per day limit.. or controlled market shut downs. Our ocean can't sustain itself with how greedy we've became.

@@Brainwashed_Sheep Actually I was being facetious. I am a retired fisheries biologist and know quite well what's going on. If you haven't, read the "Tragedy of the Commons" as it's a classic work on what we as humans can do to a resource that's available to all comers. You're 'one fish a day' only works if everyone follows the rules. When you can get $2000+ for one fish then why not catch two, or three, or even more if no one is looking. The Chinese do it all over the world.
