Description
The Pacific Bluefin Tuna is a large, highly migratory predatory fish found throughout the North Pacific Ocean. Known for its torpedo-shaped body and incredible speed, it is a top predator feeding on smaller fish and squid. Due to its immense size and specific needs, it is exclusively kept in very large public aquariums and is not suitable for home aquaria.
