Scientists tracked a tuna 300 miles up the M6 after it was taken from Cornwall to Lancashire by a tourist

Scientists who satellite-tagged a tuna followed it 300 miles up the motorway to Lancashire - after it was picked up by a tourist.

Scientists who satellite-tagged a tuna followed it up the M6 - after it was picked up by a tourist. Researchers at the University of Exeter had tagged the Atlantic bluefin tuna off Plymouth in Devon a few weeks ago as part of a research project. But the tag safely detatched itself from the giant fish - and later signaled researchers that it had washed up on Whitsand Bay in Cornwall.

Lucy added: “On Sunday night, the tag moved again. ''We received high-quality tracking information that made me quite sure it was in a tiny village called Ribby, just south of Wesham. “BBC Radio Lancashire called to see if we’d found the tag yet, and had me on again that evening.” At that point, Lancashire resident Brian Shuttleworth called in after his wife heard the end of the BBC Radio Lancashire evening segment on the missing tag.
