Various of Miyahara leaving\u003cbr/\u003eA US-backed proposal to ban the export of Atlantic bluefin tuna prized in sushi was rejected on Thursday by a UN wildlife meeting, with scores of developing nations joining Japan in opposing a measure they feared would devastate fishing economies.\u003cbr/\u003eIt was a stunning setback for conservationists who had hoped the 175-nation Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, or CITES, would give the iconic fish a lifeline. \u003cbr/\u003eThey joined the proposal''s sponsor Monaco in arguing that extreme measures were necessary because the stocks have fallen by 75 percent due to widespread overfishing.\u003cbr/\u003eAs the debate opened, Monaco painted a dire picture for a once-abundant species that roams across vast stretches of the Atlantic Ocean and can grow to to 1,500 pounds (682 kilograms).\u003cbr/\u003eIt has been depleted by the growing demand for raw tuna for traditional dishes such as sushi and sashimi. \u003cbr/\u003eThe bluefin variety - called \"hon-maguro\" in Japan - is particularly prized with a 200-kilogram (440-pound) Pacific bluefin tuna fetching a record 20.2 million yen (220 thousand US dollars) last year.\u003cbr/\u003eVan Klaveren told delegates that it was no longer a case of \"exploitation by traditional fishing people to meet regional needs,\" but industrial scale fishing having a severe impact on the species and its capacity to recover.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We are facing a real ecosystem collapse,\" he said.\u003cbr/\u003eBut it became clear that the proposal had little support.  Only the United States, Norway and Kenya supported the proposal outright. \u003cbr/\u003eThe European Union asked that implementation be delayed until May 2011 to give authorities time to respond to concerns about overfishing.\u003cbr/\u003eFishing nations from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean complained any ban would damage their fishing communities and that fears of the stock''s collapse were overstated. \u003cbr/\u003eLibya, in a rambling defence of its position, went so far as accusing Monaco of lying and trying to mislead the delegates before calling for the snap vote.\u003cbr/\u003eJapan, which imports 80 percent of Atlantic bluefin and has led the opposition to the ban, acknowledged stocks were in trouble but echoed a growing consensus at the meeting that CITES should have no role in regulating tuna and other marine species. \u003cbr/\u003eIt expressed willingness to accept lower quotas for bluefin tuna but wanted those to come from the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, or ICCAT, which currently regulates the trade.\u003cbr/\u003eMasanori Miyahara, chief counsellor of the Fisheries Agency of Japan, said that Japan was \"very serious\" about measures to conserve the Atlantic bluefin tuna and aimed to \"ensure the recovery of the stock\".\u003cbr/\u003eHowever, he said that Japan believes regulation should come from ICCAT, not CITES, a position which he said was shared by most Asian nations.      \u003cbr/\u003eAfterward, Miyahara welcomed the decision but admitted the pressure would be on his country and others who depend on the Atlantic bluefin to abide by ICCAT. \u003cbr/\u003eIt ruled in November to reduce its quota from 22,000 tons to 13,500 tons for this year. \u003cbr/\u003eThe body has also vowed to rebuild the stock by 2022, which could include closing some fisheries if necessary.\u003cbr/\u003eBut the European Union''s Gael de Rotalier said the vote set a worrying precedent and showed there was widespread mistrust about giving CITES any role in marine issues.\u003cbr/\u003eThat could bode ill for several other proposals still pending, including several regulating the trade in sharks and one dealing with red and pink corals. \u003cbr/\u003eIf that would occur, a meeting that was expected to boost the protection of marine species wood be seen by many environmentalists as a failure.\u003cbr/\u003eThe tuna defeat came hours after delegates rejected a US proposal to ban the international sale of polar bear skins and parts, suggesting that economic interests at this meeting were trumping conservation.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Americans argued that the sale of polar bears skins is compounding the loss of the animals'' sea ice habitat due to climate change. \u003cbr/\u003eThere are projections that the bear''s numbers, which are estimated at 20,000 to 25,000, could decline by two-thirds due by 2050 due to habitat loss in the Arctic.\u003cbr/\u003eBut Canada, Greenland and several indigenous communities argued the trade had little impact on the white bears'' population and would adversely affect their economies.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
