Description:

Tunas (family Scombridae, tribe Thunnini) (Fig. 1), collectively support one of largest fisheries in the world (in terms of both landings and economic value) yet they are top level carnivores living in the pelagic environment which has rates of primary productivity (per unit area) approximately one tenth those of coastal areas (e.g. Westberry et al. 2008). Tunas are also unique among fishes in many of their anatomical, biological, and physiological attributes (Block and Stevens 2001) which permit their extraordinary growth and reproductive rates (e.g. Brill 1996; Gaertner et al. 2008; Gaikov et al. 1980; Wild 1986). Tunas are, however, not a homogenous group. Rather, as described by Bernal et al. (2017) there are demonstrable species-specific differences in their physiological abilities and tolerances that allow some to make extensive vertical movements (e.g. Musyl et al. 2003; Lowe et al. 2000; Bernal et al. 2009; Galli et al. 2009; Schaefer and Fuller 2002; Schaefer et al. 2009; Shiels et al. 2015), or to undertake migratory patterns which take them from temperate feeding areas to tropical spawning areas (e.g. Block et al. 2001; Sibert et al. 2006; Wilson et al. 2005).
