Tuna will be wiped out by 2012 unless overfishing is stopped, environmental groups have warned.

If current quotas are maintained, the breeding population of Atlantic bluefin tuna will have disappeared in three years, it is claimed.

The population can only be saved by a complete halt to fishing in May and June, when the fish swim to the Mediterranean to spawn, the WWF says.

Radical man! Luckily I on take exclusively salmon sashimi. So it's not my fault.
