Beached tuna find 'very unusual'
Experts who have identified the species of tuna beached at Burry Port last week say it is only the third record of that type of fish being found in UK waters.

The tuna was recovered by three teenagers from a mud bank near the harbour town last Thursday.
 

Marine biologists at Swansea University say it was a bigeye tuna - usually found warmer waters in open oceans.

Weighing 83.5lb (38kg) and measuring 1.34m in length they said it was a "very unusual find."

The tuna, which was put into deep freeze at a Swansea fish firm after being brought ashore, has since been passed on to the university's department of biological sciences.
