KlappentextWith chapters contributed by experts, this book focuses on the biology and ecology of the three bluefin tuna species: the Pacific (Thunnus orientalis), Atlantic (T. thynnus), and southern bluefin tuna (T. maccoyii). It covers the phylogeny and basic ecological information such as early life history, age and growth, and food habits. The book also includes information related to migratory ecology, and important biological aspects such as metabolism and energetics, swimming performance, schooling, visual physiology, and reproductive physiology. It then introduces new research insights about various kinds of mathematical models for bluefin tuna ecology.
