“Ignorance is of a peculiar nature; once dispelled, it is impossible to reestablish it. It is not originally a thing of itself, but it is only the absence of knowledge; and though man may be kept ignorant, he may not be made ignorant.”
- Thomas Paine

A current fisheries.noaa.gov article says of the Atlantic yellowfin tuna “the stock is not overfished”, and that “U.S. wild-caught Atlantic yellowfin tuna is a smart seafood choice because it is sustainably managed and responsibly harvested under U.S. regulations”.
Further, a July 2024 article on onthewater.com says “Atlantic yellowfin tuna have four major spawning areas, including the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico, and off the coast of Africa.”
From 1973 to 2024, there are fifteen yellowfin tuna state records (Georgia women’s, 1973; North Carolina, 1979; South Carolina, 1979; Georgia men’s, 1980; New Jersey, 1980; Virginia, 1981; Massachusetts, 1990; Connecticut, 1991; Rhode Island, 1997; New York, 2002; Florida, 2002; Louisiana, 2005; Louisiana, 2012; Alabama, 2020; and New Jersey, 2022.
From 1973 to 2024, 80%, or twelve of the fifteen yellowfin tuna state records are fabricated, e.g., are not supported by independent media verification or photographs (Georgia women’s, 1973; North Carolina, 1979; South Carolina, 1979; Georgia men’s, 1980; New Jersey, 1980; Virginia, 1981; Massachusetts, 1990; Connecticut, 1991; Rhode Island, 1997; New York, 2002; Florida, 2002; Louisiana, 2005)

There are just four verfiable yellowfin tuna state records: Louisiana, 2012; Alabama, 2020; Mississippi, 2020; and New Jersey, 2022.
Why are there no verifiable yellowfin tuna state records prior to 2012?
While yellowfin tuna are plentiful in many places, prior to 2012 the degradation of the etheric environment in the waters off the coast of the United States was such that the yellowfin tuna simply could not manifest there.
There is no state record yellowfin tuna in Delaware, Maine, or New Hampshire.
If the Atlantic yellowfin tuna is not overfished, and U.S. wild-caught Atlantic yellowfin tuna is a smart seafood choice, and one of the four major spawning areas of the yellowfin tuna is the Caribbean, then why is there no state record tuna in Delaware, Maine or New Hampshire?
There is no verifiable state record yellowfin tuna in Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina or Virginia.
If the U.S. yellowfin tuna stock is not overfished, and U.S. wild-caught Atlantic yellowfin tuna is a smart seafood choice, and one of the four major spawning areas of the yellowfin tuna is the Caribbean, then why is there no verifiable state record yellowfin tuna in Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina or Virginia?
