Sara Hugentobler’s Capstone Project focused on the migration of Pacific Bluefin Tuna, a commercially important and heavily exploited species. To complete this project, Sara collected samples in Taiwan for stable isotope analysis. Pacific Bluefin Tuna make transoceanic migrations and from the data collected, age and diet differences should be able to elucidate migration patterns. This work will fold into a larger research study conducted by Stony Brook University post-doc Dr. Daniel Madigan. In order to complete this project, Sara received funding from the National Science Foundation’s East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes.
