Why are bluefin tuna back?

The return of giant bluefin tuna to Yorkshire waters, after decades of absence, is a big deal. Scientists believe this comeback is thanks to a combination of more careful management of fish stocks and the warming temperatures of our oceans. These factors have helped the tuna population recover from being almost wiped out.
