One of the most alarming examples is the market for Bluefin tuna, which can fetch millions at auctions like those held at Tokyo's Toyosu Market. A single Bluefin tuna can be auctioned for up to $3.1 million, leading to a surge in counterfeit Bluefin tuna. Unregulated fishing and overfishing have exacerbated the problem, with over one-fifth of global fish catch estimated to be from illegal sources. Criminal syndicates increasingly target these high-value fish, demonstrating how lucrative the world of seafood fraud can be.
