Fiji's tuna stock declines

Fiji's tuna exports hit by declining stocks

Fiji's fisheries minister, Semi Koroilavesau, said the country's export would only be 10,000 tonnes this year.

This would be down 2000 tonnes on what was exported last year.

Mr Koroilavesau told the Fiji Times this was because of the decreasing tuna population in Fiji waters, caused by changing weather patterns.
