Above, Dr. Steve Wilson, a Stanford University
marine research scientist, installs a satellite radio tag on a 700-pound
Atlantic bluefin tuna as part of the "Tag-a-Giant" program. The fish entered
the Gulf of Mexico on March 23, 2009, to spawn, and returned to the Atlantic
on May 24, 2009, a journey that took it near the Deepwater Horizon rig site
and through much of the area where oil from the rig has been mapped.
