Bluefin Tuna
Thunnus thynnus
An adult bluefin tuna is a powerful open-ocean predator that ranges across vast temperate and subtropical waters. It feeds on fish, squid, and crustaceans, using sustained speed and sudden bursts to overtake prey. A streamlined body, crescent tail, and warm red swimming muscles make it one of the fastest large fishes. It can migrate across entire ocean basins between feeding and spawning areas.
