Fishing nations have agreed to leave Atlantic bluefin tuna quotas virtually unchanged, after meeting in Paris.
The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna (ICCAT) set the 2011 quota at 12,900 tonnes, down from 13,500 tonnes.
Conservationists say the bluefin tuna is threatened by overfishing, and much deeper cuts are needed.
They have criticised ICCAT in the past for failing to ensure that the species and others are fished sustainably.
