Millions of gallons of crude oil in the wrong place.  

Atlantic Bluefin Tuna; big, strong, fast, and an apex predator.  One female can produce up to 40 million eggs. They spawn in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico. They can live 30 years.  A single fish can weigh hundreds of pounds and sell for over one hundred thousand dollars at fish markets.

How will the BP drilling disaster affect the new generation of teenie-tiny bluefin larvae now drifting near the blow-out? That is what the University of Southern Mississippi Gulf Research Lab plans to find out. Scientists have begun a 12-day cruise to collect specimens from the loop current that passes through the Gulf through the Florida Keys to the Atlantic.
