Dingle boats land giant tuna

A big game fish, regarded as an endangered species, has been landed in fishing nets off the south west.

But the 140kg (309lb) Atlantic bluefin tuna, much prized by Japanese sushi lovers, will be consumed in Kerry — at just a fraction of its huge commercial value.

The two-metre-long fish was hauled in by two Dingle fishing boats operating a seine system 100 miles off the coast.
