In recent years, Atlantic bluefin tuna have been caught and by-caught in the commercial and recreational fishing sectors off the coast of the UK & Ireland. Bluefin tuna are one of the powerful fish in the oceans, and, in the event of capture can die without proper handling. We will therefore be working working with both the recreational and commercial sectors to develop guidelines and mitigation measures for ensuring the highest rates of survivorship for Atlantic bluefin tuna released after incidental capture events. We are always open to ideas and encourage any feedback that you might have.
