Eastern Atlantic Bluefin Tuna

The Eastern Atlantic Bluefin Tuna is a large, highly prized fish species found in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. It can grow over 10 feet long and weigh more than 1,000 pounds. Known for its rapid swimming and powerful body, it is a key species for commercial and recreational fishing. Bluefin tuna play an important role in the marine ecosystem as top predators. Due to overfishing, their numbers have declined significantly, leading to international management efforts to ensure sustainable populations. They are also valued for sushi and sashimi, increasing demand and pressure on their stocks.
