A bluefin tuna, tagged by researchers in August 2008, was caught a year later by a professional bait boat off the coast of northern Spain. The animal had internally implanted electronic tag which enabled its migratory movements and the depth of these, amongst other data, to be obtained. First estimations of the geographical location of the recovered tag revealed that this fish had undertaken migrations between the Azores and Portugal during the winter, later to return to the Gulf of Bizkaia in spring and also that it had dropped, during the winter, to depths of more than 1000 meters.

The University of Maine is one of several prestigious marine research institutions joining forces to study North Atlantic marine ecosystems as part of the Cooperative Institute for the North Atlantic Region (CINAR). In addition to UMaine, the collaborative involves Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Rutgers University, the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science and the Gulf of Maine Research Institute. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) created the alliance, which may eventually involve more than 200 ocean scientists, including faculty members from UMaine’s School of Marine Sciences.
