Pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis) bycatch in the Atlantic Ocean
Abstract A large tuna was hooked by a Japanese longline fishery in the high seas near the Republic of Namibia. This fishing ground is mainly utilized for Thunnus albacares, Thunnus obesus and Thunnus alalunga by Japanese tuna longliners. Because the tuna was larger than the common size of these species, the specimen was sampled for genetic species ...

Deep diving behavior observed in yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) [PDF]
Yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) are known to preferentially occupy the surface mixed layer above the thermocline and it has been suggested that they are physiologically restricted to water temperatures no more than 8 ◦ C colder than surface waters. However, we here report for dive data acquired from a large yellowfin tuna which demonstrate for the ...

Microencapsulation of trypsin from the intestine of yellowfin tuna (Thunnus Albacares)
Abstract Fish viscera is one of the waste products from fisheries that have not been widely used it tends to be disposed of more. Whereas in fish innards there are some enzymes including the trypsin found in the intestines. To increase the added value of fish viscera, a study on the extraction and microencapsulation of trypsin from fish ...

The Occurrence of Microplastic Ingestion in Commercial Marine Fish in Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia
ABSTRACT Microplastics are polymer‐based particle compositions of various toxic chemicals with size less than 5 mm. Due to their small size, microplastics can be ingested and accumulate in body tissues of organisms. This raises concerns about their toxicity being transferred to humans via food consumption.

The number and distribution of olfactory receptors over the olfactory lamellar surface of four juvenile southern bluefin tuna were quantified using scanning electron microscopy. The microvillous olfactory receptors (mORN) are concentrated in the rostral region of the lamellar surface, while ciliated olfactory receptors (cORN), which are dominant in ...
