Sexual maturity in western Atlantic bluefin tuna [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2014 We introduce a novel endocrine approach for assessing the unresolved matter of the timing of sexual maturation in western Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABFT), a highly migratory population whose status remains uncertain. Ratios of follicle stimulating hormone to luteinizing hormone, a sexual maturity indicator, in all ABFT ≥ 134 cm curved fork length (CFL ...

Dispersal routes and habitat utilization of juvenile Atlantic bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus, tracked with mini PSAT and archival tags. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Between 2005 and 2009, we deployed 58 miniature pop-up satellite archival tags (PSAT) and 132 implanted archival tags on juvenile Atlantic bluefin tuna (age 2-5) in the northwest Atlantic Ocean.

Seasonal movements, aggregations and diving behavior of Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) revealed with archival tags. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Electronic tags were used to examine the seasonal movements, aggregations and diving behaviors of Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) to better understand their migration ecology and oceanic habitat utilization.

First estimates of metabolic rate in Atlantic bluefin tuna larvae [PDF]
Journal of Fish Biology, 2020 AbstractAtlantic bluefin tuna is an iconic scombrid species with a high commercial and ecological value. Despite their importance, many physiological aspects, especially during the larval stages, are still unknown. Metabolic rates are one of the understudied aspects in scombrid larvae, likely due to challenges associated to larval handling before and ...

The Fate of Atlantic Bluefin Tuna [PDF]
Science, 2010 For several years, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) have made Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) the archetype of overfishing and general mismanagement of the world fisheries. There are good reasons for this, as BFT crystallizes most of the problems of many fisheries: severe overcapacity, open access in international waters, high market value, and ...

Spawning of bluefin tuna in the Black Sea: historical evidence, environmental constraints and population plasticity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The lucrative and highly migratory Atlantic bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus (Linnaeus 1758; Scombridae), used to be distributed widely throughout the north Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea. Its migrations have supported sustainable fisheries

Informing Management of Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Using Telemetry Data
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Sustainable management of exploited marine fish and wildlife populations requires knowledge about their productivity. Survival from natural causes of mortality is a key component of population productivity, but is notoriously difficult to estimate.

Characterization of the spawning area of tuna species on the northern Tunisian coasts
Scientia Marina, 2016 Early life stages of tuna species were investigated along the northern coasts of Tunisia in the summer of 2010, from 7 to 14 July. A total of 74 stations, distributed on a regular grid, were sampled.
