The first land-based system for Atlantic bluefin has recently been constructed in Cadiz, Spain by private company Futuna Blue. This is the largest bluefin facility in the world, with a floor space of 30000 m and two brood-stock tanks each of 4000 m. Like that previously described for Clean Seas Tuna, these tanks operate under sophisticated recirculating systems capable of completely controlling all aspects of the environment (Urup pers. com.). 

Like aU fish species, incubation time is temperature dependent. For yellowfin tuna, hatching occurs 20 h post fertilisation at 30 °C and in 28 h at 23 °C (Margulies et al, 2007b). Hutapea (2008) suggested that the optimum incubation temperature for yellowfin was 28 °C and found that below 24 °C and above 32 °C a high percentage of embryos developed abnormally. For Atlantic bluefin, incubation time ranges from 26 h at 27 °C to 44 h at 21 °C (Anon., 2009 De Metrio et al, 2010). At hatch, all species measure...
