Researchers at the Institute of Marine and Environmental Technology (IMET) have made history by successfully raising Atlantic bluefin tuna from eggs to juvenile stage in a recirculating, land-based mariculture system for the first time in North America. These efforts were led by Yonathan Zohar, Chair of the Department of Marine Biotechnology at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC).
