Historic Bluefin Tuna Lands on Yorkshire Coast After Decades
An Atlantic bluefin tuna weighing about 338 kg was landed near Whitby, Yorkshire—the first to be landed in the area since the 1960s, with a second over-300-kg specimen following the next day. University of Exeter researchers have tagged six bluefin off Whitby, suggesting a resurgence of the species in British waters under careful fisheries management. The catches are sold to high-end markets and restaurants, reflecting ongoing demand for this premium fish.
