tuna species

Tuna are fast-swimming, saltwater fish found in warm and temperate oceans worldwide. There are several species, such as bluefin, yellowfin, albacore, and skipjack, each varying in size, diet, and habitat. Bluefin are the largest and highly prized for sushi, while yellowfin and albacore are more common and versatile for canned and fresh usage. Tuna are pelagic, meaning they live in the open ocean, and are important both ecologically and commercially. Their swimming ability and migratory behavior make them key indicators of ocean health, and sustainable management is crucial to prevent overfishing.
