  • A Preliminary Study on the Stomach Content of Southern Bluefin Tuna Thunnus Maccoyii Caught by Taiwanese Longliner in the Central Indian Ocean
    CCSBT-ESC/0509/35 A preliminary study on the stomach content of southern bluefin tuna Thunnus maccoyii caught by Taiwanese longliner in the central Indian Ocean Kwang-Ming Liu1, Wei-Ke Chen2, Shoou-Jeng Joung2, and Sui-Kai Chang3 1. Institute of Marine Resource Management, National Taiwan Ocean University, Keelung, Taiwan. 2. Department of Environmental Biology and Fisheries Science, National Taiwan Ocean University, Keelung, Taiwan. 3. Fisheries Agency, Council of Agriculture, Taipei, Taiwan. Abstract The stomach contents of 63 southern bluefin tuna captured by Taiwanese longliners in central Indian Ocean in August 2004 were examined. The size of tunas ranged from 84-187 cm FL (12-115 kg GG). The length and weight frequency distributions indicated that most specimens were in the range of 100-130 cm FL with a body weight between 10 and 30 kg for both sexes. The sexes- combined relationship between dressed weight and fork length can be described by W = 6.975× 10-6× FL3.1765 (n=56, r2=0.967, p < 0.05). The subjective index of fullness of specimens was estimated as: 1 = empty (38.6%), 2 = <half full (47.37%), 3 = half full (3.51%), 4 = >half full (5.26%), and 5 = full (5.26%). For the stomachs with prey items, almost all the preys are pisces and the proportion of each prey groups are fishes (95.6%), cephalopods (2.05%), and crustaceans (0.02%). In total, 6 prey taxa were identified – 4 species of fish, 1 unidentified pisces, 1 unidentified crustacean, and 1 unidentified squid. The 4 fish species fall in the family of Carangidae, Clupeidae, Emmelichthyidae, and Hemiramphidae.

ABSTRACT The tuna meat is a nutritious food that possesses high content of protein, its low content of saturated fatty acids makes it a high demand food in the world. The Thunnus genus is composed of eight species, albacore (T. alalunga), bigeye (T. obesus), long tail tuna (T. tonggol), yellowfin tuna (T. albacares), pacific bluefin tuna (T. orientalis), bluefin tuna (T. maccoyii), Atlantic bluefin tuna ( T. thynnus) and blackfin tuna (T. atlanticus). The blackfin tuna (BFT) (Thunnus atlanticus) represent the smallest species within the Thunnus genus.

  • Movements and Diving Behavior of Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Thunnus Thynnus in Relation to Water Column Structure in the Northwestern Atlantic

Lawson1, 2,*, Michael R. Castleton1, Barbara A. Block1 1Tuna Research and Conservation Center, Stanford University, Hopkins Marine Station, 120 Oceanview Boulevard, Pacific Grove, California 93950, USA 2Present address: Biology Department, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, Massachusetts 02543, USA ABSTRACT: We analyzed the movements and diving behavior in relation to water column structure of 35 electronically tagged Atlantic bluefin tuna (176 to 240 cm in length at tagging) during their spring–fall period of occupancy of the Gulf of Maine, Canadian Shelf, and neighboring off-shelf waters from 1999 to 2005. Tagged fish arriving in this study region in March–April initially occupied weakly stratified off-shelf waters along the northern Gulf Stream. As waters over the continental shelf warmed in June, the fish shifted onto the shelf. Sea surface temperatures occupied were relatively constant in both off- and on-shelf waters (April–September monthly medians varying from 16.1 to 19.0°C). Dives made in the stratified waters of the shelf during summer and fall were significantly more frequent (up to 180 dives d–1) and fast (descent rates up to 4.1 m s–1) than in weakly stratified off-shelf waters occupied during spring, defining dives as excursions below tag-derived estimates of the surface isothermal layer depth (ILD). The duration and depth of dives also decreased significantly in associa- tion with changing water column structure, from medians in off-shelf waters during April of 0.45 h and 77.0 m, respectively, to 0.16 h and 24.9 m in August.

  • Thunnus Thynnus* the Atlantic Bluefin Tuna
    Thunnus Thynnus* The Atlantic Bluefin Tuna An amazing, fishy feat of nature. *Thunnus thynnus. Derived from the Latin “thyno”, “to rush, to dart”. Image courtesy of Chris Gill, Aquila Charters Mevagissey. The return of Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (ABFT) to UK waters in the last few years has generated great interest in this iconic fish from anglers and non-anglers alike. Fishermen will spend thousands and travel across the globe for a chance to hook up to a Bluefin. They are one of the most desirable opponents in the angling world. ABFT are the largest of all the Tuna and can grow to over 700kg, (1,500lbs), and live for up to fifty years. They can attain sppeds of 70kph and dive to depths of over 1000 metres. They undertake great migrations each year, some on a par with those other great ocean travellers, Blue Whales. Their flesh is prized around the world for the finest grades of Sushi, creating a huge global industry that can attach incredible price tags to the best quality fish. Their unique physiology allows them to populate a very wide geographical range. In the Western Atlantic you can find them from the Gulf of Mexico, across the Caribbean, all along the Eastern seaboard of the US, and way up into the cold waters of Canada. In the East, they are found from Morocco, across all of the Mediterranean, and closer to home, Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, Norway, Sweden and Denmark….. Bluefin are almost unique in the geographical and water temperature range of waters they can operate in.
