About the Atlantic bluefin tuna
The Atlantic bluefin tuna is native to both the western and eastern Atlantic Ocean, as well as the Mediterranean Sea. They have become extinct in the Black Sea. They have been highly-priced as food. The great size, speed, and power they display as apex predators have attracted the admiration of fishermen, writers, and scientists. Most of them are captured by professional fishermen using longlines, purse seines, assorted hook-and-line gear, heavy rods and reels, and harpoons. Winning contestants on Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks catch these fishes in a range of 10 to 16 each.
