Early spring: giant schools of Atlantic bluefin tuna from the Atlantic Ocean swim towards and through this bottleneck to deposit their genetic heritage in the gentle, warm currents of the Mediterranean. 

Some specimens can reach well over 500 kilos, having spent all winter devouring huge quantities of herring, anchovies, mackerel and sardines.
