Government scientists say rising sea temperatures could be the reason for the return to UK waters of the world’s most expensive and sought-after fish Atlantic Bluefin Tuna, which can grow to 12 feet in length. They haven’t been seen around Britain for 60 years, but are now returning in significant numbers, especially off the coast of the South West of England. The government is now recruiting around 40 fishermen to help catch, tag and release the tuna, to track numbers, on 21st September, 2021 in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom
