Abstract:
Fishing for Bluefin tuna, which can weigh up to 600 pounds, is growing in popularity. One fish can sell for over $50,000, and in 1997, anglers spent over $3.6 million in Hatteras on such items as accommodations, food, and fishing supplies. Since 1996, anglers and researchers have participated in a Tag-a-Giant Bluefin Project. The tuna is caught, tagged with an archival tag, and released. The tag transmits data to a satellite about movement, diving activity, depth, light, and external temperatures.

Abstract:
Fishing for bluefin tuna, which can weigh up to 1,000 pounds and measure ten feet in length, is growing in popularity. Strong annual runs of bluefin make it a popular sport in the winter months off Morehead City and Cape Hatteras. The bluefin is also the subject of one of the largest research projects ever conducted on a single species of fish, the Tag-A-Giant program. The tuna is caught, tagged with an archival tag, and released. The tag transmits data to a satellite about movement, diving activity, depth, light, and external temperatures.

Abstract:
The Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) typically range in oceanic waters along the entire Eastern Atlantic coast and in the northern Gulf of Mexico. However, there have been several reports of bluefin tuna in shallow depths of estuarine waters. Bluefin tuna were observed in Archers Creek located at the end of Bogue Banks, North Carolina.

Abstract:
Two species of Thunnus, the yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) and the blackfin tuna (Thunnus atlanticus), are highly esteemed food and sport fish found in the Southern Atlantic Ocean. To obtain more data pertinent to the management of these fish, a study examined the stomach content of fishes collected at Oregon Inlet, Hatteras, North Carolina between 19809 and 1982.
