The most thorough and current account of scientific research on
bluefin tunas-the largest, most sought-after tunas in the world
Bluefin tunas are dominant keystone predators known for their
impressive size, strength, endurance, and speed. Electronic tags
have revealed that they can dive to great depths (over 6000 feet)
and migrate vast distances-from frigid subpolar seas to warm
tropical waters-for spawning. Prized for their rich taste and
unique texture, bluefin tunas are also a worldwide commodity of
great value. However, over the past few decades, overfishing
throughout their range has led to significant population
reductions. In The Future of Bluefin Tunas, Barbara A. Block brings
together renowned bluefin experts from 15 different countries to
share the latest information on the science, fisheries policy, and
management decisions related to each of the three species within
the Thunnus group-Atlantic, Pacific, and Southern. Synthesizing
basic and applied research, the book delves into every aspect of
these majestic fish, from their life history and genetic makeup to
their ecology and migrations. Ichthyologists and marine scientists
dedicated to the study of these fishes report on the latest stock
assessments, explore the results of advances such as biologging and
DNA sampling, and assess the potential of bluefin tuna aquaculture.
The Future of Bluefin Tunas provides critical research findings to
inform decisions that will impact tunas and the ocean ecosystems
they affect. Scientists, fisheries managers, policymakers, and
marine conservationists will take away key data from this timely
volume to help them ensure these remarkable fish continue in
perpetuity.
