Location & Habitat: Northern, or Atlantic, bluefin tuna live throughout the entire North Atlantic and its adjacent seas, including the Mediterranean. In the western Atlantic, bluefin are found from Newfoundland to the Gulf of Mexico; in the eastern Atlantic, they’re found from south of Iceland to the Canary Islands, and throughout the Mediterranean Sea.
Bluefin tuna live near the surface in temperate waters but frequently dive to depths of 500 to 1,000 meters. Bluefin tuna are a highly migratory species – they can migrate thousands of miles across an entire ocean. Tagging studies have indicated that bluefin tuna move across the east/west boundary in the Atlantic. Although they’re highly migratory, they tend to spawn in the same areas in the Gulf of Mexico and Mediterranean.
Description: Bluefin are the largest tuna and can live up to 40 years. They migrate across oceans and can dive more than 4,000 feet. Bluefin tuna are made for speed: built like torpedoes, have retractable fins and their eyes are set flush to their body. They are tremendous predators from the moment they hatch, seeking out schools of fish like herring, mackerel and even eels. They hunt by sight and have the sharpest vision of any bony fish. There are three species of bluefin: Atlantic (the largest and most endangered), Pacific, and Southern. Most catches of the Atlantic bluefin tuna are taken from the Mediterranean Sea, which is the most important bluefin tuna fishery in the world.
The bluefin tuna has a large, torpedo-shaped body that is nearly circular in cross-section. They are the largest of the tuna species and can reach up to 13 feet and 2,000 pounds. Bluefin tuna are dark blue-black on the back and white on the lower sides and belly. Live bluefin have colorless lines alternating with rows of colorless spots on their lower sides. The second fin on their back (dorsal fin) is reddish brown, and they have short pectoral fins. These characteristics separate this species from other members of the tuna genus, Thunnus.
