Description
The Frigate Tuna is a fast-swimming, pelagic species found in tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide. Characterized by its streamlined body and distinctive dark wavy lines on its back, it is a formidable predator. Due to its large size and active nature, it is entirely unsuitable for home aquariums and requires specialized public aquarium environments.
