Science View S2015E10 - Mass-Producing Full-Cycle Cultured Tuna

Full-cycle aquaculture of Pacific bluefin tuna was first accomplished in 2002. Yet, at the time, the survival rate of the young fish was a mere 0.1%. After 13 years of research the survival rate rose dramatically to 10%. The realization of mass-production was finally in sight. The reason the research process took so long was because the young fish were very sensitive and died easily. We'll cover the process and introduce the researchers who examined and resolved each issue.
