		The bluefin tuna is distributed throughout the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans in subtropical and temperate waters.
		The bluefin tuna is one of the largest of the tunas.

	Northern bluefin tuna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The northern bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) is a species of tuna fish, living in both the Western and the Eastern Atlantic Ocean and extending into the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea.
		It is often referred to simply as the "bluefin" or "bluefin tuna", but this name is ambiguous as it is also sometimes used for the southern bluefin tuna, Thunnus maccoyii, and the Pacific bluefin tuna, T.
		The northern bluefin tuna is an important source of seafood, providing most of the tuna used in sushi.

		Bluefin tuna range throughout the eastern North Pacific Ocean with fish being taken from Magdalena Bay, Baja California, to Shelikof Strait, Alaska.
		Since they are temperate tunas, their availability to anglers depends on water temperatures in the 62° to 68° F degree range.

		When estimates of net economic benefits are added to their annual bluefin tuna trip expenses of $1,148 (mean per trip expense times annual trips or $1,184 x.97), this yields average estimates of total economic value (total willingness-to-pay) of bluefin tuna angling in Hatteras ranging from $1,492 to $1,536 per year per angler.
		Bluefin tuna angler expenditures ($3,847,690) in the Hatteras area and elsewhere in North Carolina were sizable, particularly when it is realized they occurred over a period of only 51 days of fishing between January 15 and March 22, 1997 and that they did not exist prior to 1996.
		They are not bluefin tuna anglers in the sense they focus a major portion of their fishing effort upon this particular species.

		Description The bluefin tuna has been coined the "ultimate political fish." The controversy surrounding the well being of the Bluefin tuna has lasted over two decades and has yet to be completely resolved.
		ICCAT agreed that imports of fresh Bluefin tuna should be accompanied by a statistical document as of June 1, 1994.

		The Northern Bluefin Tuna is a species of tuna fish, living in both the Western and the Eastern Atlantic Ocean and extending into the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea.
		The bluefin is an important source of seafood, providing most of the tuna used in sushi.
		However, some fisheries of bluefin are considered overfished, and this problem is compounded by the bluefin's slow growth rate and late maturity.

		The bluefin tuna is being overfished and the fishery lacks adequate control mechanisms, while many countries have a strong economic interest in this exclusive but popular fish for human consumption.
		Norway is also proposing that scientific studies of the bluefin tuna, independent of fishing interests, should be carried out in order to improve the reliability of stock estimates.

		Bluefin join schools when they are 1/2-inch long, school strictly by size, and swim in a single file, side-by-side (soldier formation) or in an arc (hunter formation).
		Bluefin are cooperative hunters, like wolves or killer whales, and are a temperate-water fish whose range extends from warm to cold waters where food is abundant.
		Northern bluefin tuna may have the highest metabolism of any known fish, they retain 98 percent of muscular heat and are superbly adapted to temperate and cold waters close to shore and far out to sea.

	About the Bluefin Tuna - WBA
		The bluefin tuna is a pelagic fish, which means that it lives in deep ocean waters rather than near shallow shores.
		As a member fo the tuna family, the bluefin tuna has a sleek, rounded, streamlined body, tapering to a narrow junction with the tail.
		Because the tuna has no respiratory mechanism to ensure the flow of water over the gills, only the current caused by its swimming achieves this, so the tuna will die of anoxia if it stops swimming.

	Monterey Bay Aquarium: Conservation and Research - Tuna Research and Conservation (TRCC)
		Bluefin tuna are also the basis of an incredibly lucrative commercial fishery, one that in some regions has led to steep declines over the past three decades because of growing pressure to catch these valuable giants.
		Since 1994, staff at the Tuna Research and Conservation Center (TRCC)—a collaboration between the aquarium and Stanford University—has been tagging giant bluefin tunas in the wild and studying tunas at the TRCC facility in Pacific Grove, next door to the aquarium.
		TRCC tagging in the western Atlantic has revealed that bluefin tunas are mixing on their feeding grounds but potentially sorting to independent breeding grounds in the Mediterranean and the Gulf of Mexico, a pattern not accounted for in current fisheries management policies.

		Bluefin tuna in the Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea are at such high risk of fishery and stock collapse that scientists say the allowable catch should be halved to conserve them.

	Study: Better protections for bluefin tuna needed
		A team of marine scientists has mapped the undersea journeys of Atlantic bluefin tuna and concluded that tighter restrictions should be placed on fishing to protect the feeding and breeding grounds of this top migratory predator—one of the most commercially valuable fish in the sea.
		Bluefin tuna is consumed worldwide, especially in Japan where sushi and sashimi consumers have been known to pay up to $45 a pound for the popular delicacy.
		However, bluefin weighing 300 pounds or more, which have a remarkable capacity to stay warm internally, have expanded their range into productive, subpolar seas throughout the North Atlantic, and thus are more likely to cross the boundary, exposing them to oceanic longlines as well as fishers from both sides of the Atlantic.

	Tracking the Imperiled Bluefin From Ocean to Sushi Platter - New York Times
		The threat to the bluefin was underscored last week by researchers who have tracked hundreds of the fish on their ocean-spanning journeys using electronic tags.
		They found that the tuna that spawn in the west, which are most severely depleted, are further threatened by an ever-broadening gantlet of hooks, seines, harpoons, traps and now farm-style pens, in which netted fish are raised and fattened - all to supply the Japanese sushi trade.
		But increasingly, she added, the bluefin are seeing the end of a fishing line, the inside of a net and the hold of a fishing boat.

		The tuna were very easy to locate as they came close to the herringboats and when the herring were brought on board, the bluefin fed on herring lost from the nets.
