SUMMARY
Bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) tagging experiments using “pop-up ” tags (EU FAIR Project N. 97/3975) were carried out between June 1998 and August 2000. The tags were programmed to detach themselves from fish and float to the surface after intervals of between 5 and 300 days, providing, by means of...
