The magazine 'Sciences & Avenir' highlights the actions carried out by LIRMM and Ifremer on bluefin tuna tagging

The LIRMM, together with Ifremer and its partners from the FishNchip and Popstar projects, launched an innovative tagging campaign 2 years ago and equipped adult tuna with electronic devices. One year later, these tags reveal some unsuspected aspects of migratory fish.

Its actions were highlighted in the magazine Science & Avenir :
