The Natural History Museum plays a vital role in providing accurate identifications of reported catches of fishes around the UK. These fish locations allow us to monitor climate change and its impact on our world. Using a live link-up from the Tank Room, Museum fish curators Oliver Crimmen and James Maclaine examine the first ever British barracuda, caught off the coast of Cornwall earlier this year.
