Notes

Southern Bluefin Tunas are majestic, temperate ocean dwellers, roaming across the oceans of the southern hemisphere, from the tropics to the sub-Antarctic. They grow to two metres and 200 kilograms, mature between eight and 20 years of age, and can live to 40. These tunas are some of the more important of all commercial fishes.
