Information about Bigeye Tuna (Thunnus obesus):
|
Bigeye Tuna have a shallow notch at the centre of the caudal fin fork and, in adults,
the eye is relatively large compared with that of other tunas. Their entire dorsal
and ventral body profiles are evenly curved. The liver has noticeable striations and
its central lobe is the longest. The pectoral fin in adult bigeye tuna is
one-quarter to one-third the body fork length, whereas the pectoral fin in juvenile bigeye
tuna is longer and always extends beyond a line drawn between the anterior edges of the
second dorsal and anal fins. Bigeye tuna less than 75cm fork length (10kg whole
weight) hwave longer pectoral fins than Yellowfin Tuna of comparable
sizes. Juvenile bigeye tuna often have 7-10 white unbroken stripes crossing the
lower sides vertically, substantially fewer than in juvenile yellowfin tuna.
Bigeye tuna are found in tropical and subtropical waters of the Pacific, Indian and
Atlantic oceans. They are an oceanic fish, found throughout Australian waters when
surface temperatures exceed 17șC. Although juvenile bigeye tuna have not been
reported outside tropical waters.
Bigeye tuna smaller and 20kg are mainly found with surface-dewlling schools of similar
fish such as yellowfin tuna
and skipjack tuna. Schools
of only bigeye tuna are less common. Adults tend to be solitary.
