Description
The Atlantic Bluefin Tuna is a massive, highly migratory predatory fish known for its torpedo-shaped body and incredible speed. It is one of the largest and fastest fish in the ocean, capable of regulating its body temperature. Due to its immense size and specific needs, it is entirely unsuitable for home aquariums and is rarely kept even in the largest public aquariums.
