TOKYO — A bluefin tuna sold for more than $1.3 million at an annual fish auction in Tokyo, in what organizers said was the second-highest bid since the event began in 1999. The 608-pound bluefin tuna, which is about the size and weight of a motorcycle, was purchased for 207 million yen ($1,316,835) at the new year auction at the Toyosu market, the main fish market in Tokyo, by seafood wholesaler Yamayuki and Michelin-starred sushi chain operator Onodera Group. “The first tuna is meant to bring good fortune,” company president Shinji Nagao told reporters at the market right after the auction. It was paid by Kiyoshi Kimura, the head of another chain of sushi restaurants who is known as the “Tuna King” of Japan. Arata Yamamoto reported from Tokyo, and Kim Gu reported from Hong Kong.
