      @funsunshine do you mean if it was to travelthe whole area of the atlantic?

      Well I think it would depend on the fish, some fish don’t tend to move very mucht hey might have different feeding spots depending on different times of the year but they don’t tend to travel the whole area of the atlantic.

      Others are what we call “highly migratory species” these species can travel extremely long distances with some blue fin tuna crossing the Atlantic in as little as 60 days.

      So not sure how long it would take to cover the whole Atlantic but it could take the Blue fin less than a year if the currents were right.
