Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Bluefin Tuna

Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Bluefin Tuna are large, highly valued fish known for their speed and powerful build. Found mainly in the North Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, they migrate across wide areas, close to coastlines and open waters. They are prized in sushi and sashimi markets but are also overfished, leading to conservation concerns. These tuna have thick bodies, a distinctive metallic blue on top, and a robust, muscular appearance. Their populations are managed with strict quotas to prevent depletion, ensuring sustainable fishing practices and aiding in ecosystem balance.
