As a contribution to the Grande Bluefin Year Program, Canada has used its own resource and GBYP funding to initiate a 3 year biological sampling program (if successful, we will try to extend the project).
The objective of this sampling program is to determine natal origin and age of the Canadian catch of bluefin tuna.
This will improve knowledge of current mixing rates and age structure of the Canadian catch and should result in a more reliable stock assessment.
