Blackfin tuna
Alternative names: Thunnus atlanticus
Blackfin tuna is one of the smallest tuna species and inhabits the tropical and warm temperate waters of the western Atlantic Ocean. Due to their close similarities the Blackfin tuna might get confused with the Yellowfin tuna or the Bluefin tuna.
The Blackfin tuna is both aggressive as a defensive mechanism and fast and unlike any other tuna it was not added by the Greenpeace Insternational to the seafood red list.
