Pacific Bluefin Tuna

ocean · super fast · predator · migratory

Built for speed. Pacific bluefin tuna are streamlined swimmers with torpedo-shaped bodies that let them zip through the ocean at incredible speeds to catch prey like smaller fish and squid.

Epic ocean journey. These tuna are migratory fish, meaning they travel enormous distances across the northern Pacific Ocean, and sometimes even venture down to the southern Pacific to explore new waters.

Warm blood advantage. Unlike most fish, Pacific bluefin tuna can warm their own blood using special muscles, which helps them stay active and powerful in cold ocean waters.

Top ocean hunters. As predatory fish, Pacific bluefin tuna have no natural predators in the ocean and hunt other animals to survive, making them one of the ocean's most successful hunters.

Pacific home base. These tuna are found widely throughout the northern Pacific Ocean, making it their main territory for hunting, breeding, and traveling.
