Got to stick a tag on this big girl yesterday! Hopefully she heads straight to the spawning grounds and gives us some new insights into the reproductive patterns of this overfished species. At >300lbs it was the biggest fish we've tagged to date in our collaboration with the Far Seas Fisheries Institute of Japan. Major morale boost for the team after getting skunked 10 days in a row! @montereybayaquarium #300lbs #whopper #big #bluefin #tuna #tagging #conservation #science #arigato #gozaimasu (at 湖畔の宿｢吉田家｣)
