I'm afraid salmon fisheries aren't doing great either, and are facing similar levels of decline and risk.

> Atlantic salmon (pictured) is placed in the “near threatened” category. New evidence says that globally, the population has declined by 23% between 2006 and 2020.

(And actually when I try to look it up, it does not look like Yellowfin Tuna is actually on the "near threatened" or worse list officially? So atlantic salmon may be more threatened than yellowfin tuna according to IUCN?)
