Distribution and movements of Atlantic bluefin tuna from electronic tagging

Lutcavage M., Murray E., Mendillo A., Genovese M., Chaprales W., Brill R.W., Porter J., Howey P., Rollins T.

Since 1997, fishery independent pop-up satellite tags have been used to identify the migration paths and behaviour of giant bluefin tuna released in New England and Canada. So far, all of the fish tagged in this region were in the central north Atlantic during their presumed spawning period, and 30-58 per cent had tags that reported from the eastern management area. These results were compared with conventional tagging studies and bluefin tagging studies in other regions.
