A massive two-meter long Atlantic bluefin tuna has been found washed up on Bea Sand beach, in Orkney, Scotland on Sunday. Despite being dead, the discovery raised hopes that the species is making a comeback in the region. The fish is likely to have been caught in storm Deirdre, ending up on land. /VCG Photo

Atlantic Bluefin tunas are one of the fastest and largest fish in the world. They can reach a whopping 900kg, and are able to cross the Atlantic in less than two months. /VCG Photo

Tuna has almost disappeared from seas around Scotland due to overfishing, climate change, and rising marine pollution. Guidelines have been issued to use wider nets to allow young fish escape in a bid to protect the species. /VCG Photo
