## Notice

Cefas and the University of Exeter are collaborating on a research project to provide a baseline understanding of the ecology of Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus; ABFT) in waters of the British Isles. The project is supported by the Department for Food, Environment and Rural Affairs (Defra) and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF). We will be conducting a tagging programme in 2018 and 2019 using state of the art electronic tags to study the seasonal migrations and behaviour of ABFT caught and released in UK waters. This tender refers to the 2018 tagging season only. To download the full details visit: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/Y7836RZFCB
