Reunited after twenty years: tagged tuna tells us tales of the sea

CSIRO Snapshot, 05 May 2015.

From CSIRO Snapshot: We have been reunited with an old friend. We met a long time ago, 22 years in fact, and we certainly left our mark during that first meeting. Now with a long passage of time behind us, we are keen to find where she has been all this time. We are, of course, talking about this stunning southern bluefin tuna (SBT). Tagged in 1993, the fish was reeled in by avid fisherman Matt Bell with the help of Skipper Dennis Heinicke, near Port MacDonnell last week. Read the full story at CSIRO here.
