Recent research also shows that their numbers are growing each and every year, which is very positive news for the Northeast Atlantic bluefin tuna stocks. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on and find out about the awesome return of the Northeast Atlantic bluefin tuna!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are Bluefin Tuna Found in the North Sea?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Atlantic bluefin tuna has been absent in the North Sea for more than 50 years.

Back in 2017, they started a research project in order to be able to collect more data on this amazing fish that came back to these waters only recently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the fall of 2019, they continued the research project and were able to catch, tag, and release over 30 specimens, compared to 18 giant bluefin tuna in <a aria-label=\"2017 (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"ek-link rank-math-link\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eaa-europe.org\/news\/12011\/successful-tagging-of-18-bluefin-tuna-in-denmark-and-sweden.html\" target=\"_blank\">2017<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of the fish were caught in the <a aria-label=\"Skagerrak (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Skagerrak\" target=\"_blank\">Skagerrak<\/a>, the strait of the North Sea that runs between Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
