About the talk

Join Tom for an evening talking tuna. Over the past decade we have seen the iconic Atlantic bluefin tuna return to waters off Cornwall. Tonight we use electronic tracking to shed light on the secret lives of the fish that once again call Cornwall home for a few months of the year.

Where do they go when they leave? What do they do there? and do they come back?

Tom Horton is a conservation scientist based at the University of Exeter. His work focuses on the spatial ecology of marine animals, including fisheries interactions, behaviour, and migration ecology. Previous work has included using fisheries data to document the return of Atlantic bluefin tuna to the UK and Ireland working as the Project Officer for Thunnus UK.
