Atlantic Bluefin Tuna

The Atlantic Bluefin Tuna is a large, powerful fish found in the western and eastern parts of the Atlantic Ocean. Known for its impressive size—often exceeding 10 feet in length and weighing over 1,000 pounds—it is highly valued for its flavorful, fatty flesh, especially in sushi and sashimi. Atlantic Bluefin Tuna are fast swimmers and can regulate their body temperature, enabling them to traverse vast distances. They are currently threatened due to overfishing and high demand, leading to international efforts to manage and conserve their populations.
