All 17 Tuna Species - A Comprehensive Coverage
As I’ve discussed on the channel here before, Tuna are some of the ocean's most amazing predators, and ones that often go overlooked, given so many of us routinely eat them out of small cans, which has given the impression that these animals are pretty small, sardine sized even, when that could not be further from the case.
Atlantic bluefins for example can weigh around 250 kilograms, though the largest of them can get up to an astonishing 684 kilograms, bigger than a typical cow, and nearly as much as 10 whole people. Of course, Tuna aren’t just limited to these massive animals, as there are also a range of smaller and also very interesting species that often go uncommented on. So, to rectify that, I’ll be covering all of the known Tuna species here in this video so all of this information is in one place, and with around 17 in total to go over, there’s a lot of ground, or in this case, water, to cover. I hope you enjoy.
All of the great tuna art in the thumbnail was done by Rohan Chakravarty. Please check out more of his work here if you want:

Alienacanthus - The Fish with the Ultimate Underbites

With powerful shearing jaws and armoured faces that really stand out amongst other fish both of the time they were around and today, placoderms are some of the paleozoic's most iconic animals, and for good reason.

Crocodilians today are seen as quite a stable group evolutionary, not having changed too much overall since the time of the dinosaurs. This statement though does have some issues, not just in how it often glosses over how diverse the group is today, but also as to how different many of their relatives were in the past. There are a ton of these animals to discuss, so I’ll be covering a ton more ...

    I have caught yellowfin, pacific bluefin, albacore and skipjack, and hooked and lost a tuna that was either a bigeye or bluefin, since another one from the same hookup stop was a 115lb bluefin

    I gotta correct you there - Little Tunny are not Bonito. The other name for Little Tunny is actually Bonita. Lots of people get Bonito and Bonita mixed up, or aren't aware that they're different species. The Atlantic Bonito is a prized game fish, with delicious meat. Awesome video though! I'm sending this to some of my fishing buddies so they can get learnt on tunas.

    I guess I'm now educated on the species of Tuna! Most I had heard of, some I hadn't, especially when it came to the smaller species. What surprised me was the almost mackerel-like stripey patterns on a lot of their backs. Do tuna have any genetic relation to Mackerel? Or is it meremly another example of convergent evolution?
