A large number of giant bluefin tuna were caught off the coast of Yeongdeok in Gyeongbuk.
According to Yeongdeok County on the 8th, 70 bluefin tuna weighing between 30 and 150 kg and measuring 1 to 1.5 m were caught in a set net off the coast of Samdari in Ganggu-myeon on the 6th.
These bluefin tuna were sold at the Fisheries Cooperative for 14,000 won per kg.
Although bluefin tuna have been caught off the coast of Yeongdeok, they usually weighed around 10 kg.
Recently, large bluefin tuna have been caught occasionally. However, Yeongdeok County noted that it is rare for a large number of giant bluefin tuna to be caught all at once.
A representative from Yeongdeok County said, "Giant bluefin tuna are appearing in Yeongdeok due to climate change," and added, "It seems that this will occur more frequently in the future."
