  "summary": "Several massive bluefin tuna, some weighing over 300 kilos, have washed up on the beaches of Torrevieja and Torre de la Horadada, sparking concerns about potential losses from offshore fish-farming operations. Stranded marine animals of this type are typically removed for incineration. While the causes of death are yet to be determined, the arrival of these large tuna along the Vega Baja coast has led to speculation that they may have been lost during the transfer, handling, or fattening of bluefin tuna in offshore cages. This incident comes amid a series of similar discoveries along the Murcia coastline, with cleaning teams recovering another dead tuna in Pilar de la Horadada on August 12.",
