The large, adult bluefin tuna died at sea before being washed up at Kimmeridge.
A large bluefin tuna has washed up dead on the Dorset coast - an indication that the species is making a comeback to UK waters, conservationists said.Dorset Wildlife Trust said the apex predators had been absent from UK seas for decades but recently started to make a return to the English Channel.
Marine awareness officer Julie Hatcher said: "It's great to know that bluefin tuna are back in our waters."Image caption,She added: "They don't have any predators of their own here as adults, apart from man. "Bluefin tuna are often seen now off the coast of Cornwall and out in the Channel, and even from the Dorset coast as well.
"Although it's sad to see this specimen dead, it's great to know that bluefin tuna are back in our waters where they belong." Currently, it is illegal to fish tuna in the UK, either commercially or recreationally, unless part of a small scientific trial.They can swim up to 43mph in pursuit of prey.
