Witnesses shared what they saw and the fish was sent to Friday Harbor Laboratories for a necropsy.
, a marine science organization in the Salish Sea, says it recently completed investigating a Pacific bluefin tuna that washed up on Orcas Island this summer.
SeaDoc Society Communications Manager Justin Cox says the organization interviewed a wildlife veterinarian on the scene that morning, kayakers who witnessed something mysterious in nearby waters days before, the scientist who necropsied the fish, and someone who harvested pounds of sushi from the tuna. All were mesmerized by the location of the find.
"He sent us a photo of this bluefin and we were all incredibly enthusiastic about it," Dr. Karly Cohen of the University of Florida said in an interview in July."I've never seen a bluefin tuna up close and personal like that so it was really just a mind-blowing experience and it felt unreal even as we were pulling up to the dock to this massive fish that had been placed on a gurney for us to put on a research vessel.
"These are temperate species, they don't like our cold waters- so it's quite bizarre and rare that it showed up here," Dr. Cohen said.
