The body responsible for managing Atlantic bluefin tuna has decided not to suspend the fishery in response to concerns over dwindling stocks.

Conservation groups said the decision would encourage illegal fishing.
Iccat scientists said recently that bluefin numbers were at about 15% of pre-industrial-fishing levels.
