Acupuncture on Tuna Fish!

This story seems too wacky to be true, but I guess anything's possible!
Check out this article, which claims that acupuncture is now being used in Japan on tuna fish to improve their flavor (once they become sushi), purify their blood, and make them calm to prevent lots of thrashing when they're caught. The specific acupuncture points used are a secret, but I'm left wondering how they get needled at all...
