Arctic Bonito
Katsuwonus pelamis
The adult is a fast, open-ocean predator that patrols warm pelagic waters and the upper water column. It feeds mainly on small schooling fishes, squid, and crustaceans, attacking with rapid chases and snapping jaws. Its powerful, streamlined body is built for near-constant swimming, and it uses ram ventilation to keep oxygen flowing over its gills.
