New bluefin tuna specimens at Murcia Oceanographic Centre
SPAIN: According to Fish Info & Services, the Oceanographic Centre in Murcia, under the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO), included 55 specimens of bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) in its breeding stock, which will increase the production of viable eggs.
Researchers also hope that these new tuna specimens will help increase the genetic diversity of the stock.
The 55 bluefin tuna specimens come from a surplus production of the company Caladeros del Mediterráneo, which was granted by written authorisation of the Secretary General of Fisheries, under the Ministry of Environment, Rural and Marine Affairs (MARM).
This initiative will also serve to validate and improve the excellent results obtained so far, mainly in the last season, when the egg laying obtained resulted in over 3,000 juvenile tuna specimens.
