A recovery in bluefin tuna stocks has prompted conservation officials to raise their catch quota in the main fishing grounds of the Eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean.
The new limit will be the highest on record.
The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas says the quota will be increased by nearly 13 percent to 40,570 tons per year.
It fell to a record low of 12,900 tons in 2011 and 2012. The new quota will be in effect for a three-year period from 2023.
Japan's annual allocation will be 3,114 tons, up by about 300 tons. It's the largest amount ever for the country and is expected to lead to lower prices at home.
