All 17 Tuna Species - A Comprehensive Coverage

Рет қаралды 54,014

Күн бұрын

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:

Hey guys, it's certainly been a while! I've been focussing very heavily on getting my uni work done these last few months, so apologies that there was such a gap in content between the end of March to now. This was a very big project to work on for me ( I haven't made a video longer than this since the end of 2020 funnily enough with the video I did on the Haast's eagle), and although it's been very time-consuming and made my channel go on a big hiatus, I'm so glad I could finally get it out so that you guys can learn more about these amazing fish! :) -Henry

Hey there! I'm from Chile and we have Slender tuna as a seasonal visitor (in fact many of the pics you got are from fellows of mine catching them in our southern waters). They come generally in late summer-autumn to the southern portion of the chilean coast, pursuing baitfish. They form big schools with 20+ fish and are very agressive when on a feeding frenzy. Even though they inhabit the upper portion of the oceanic column, they are mostly caught from 10-20 meters depth (even more), I have never seen one taking a surface lure, and they are seldom seen disturbing the surface. They have become (recently) a sportfish for flysfhing aficionados, with a small (yet fastly growing) rod&reel industry growing around them. They were VERY RARE 10 years ago in these waters, prefering to stay much further into the open sea, now we're regularly catching them within 200-500 meters from the coast, and some are said to enter fjords. A big Slender Tuna would be on the 8-10 kg range I believe.

There needs to be more videos like this! I love videos that do a deep dive into a group of animals exactly as approached in this video. There are so many groups of animals that could be explored in this fashion from every major family (mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, all invertebrates).

I'm more than willing to provide more! In the works include videos on the Echidna and Kiwi, so I look forward to getting them out down the line. The most surprising thing when making videos on these topics is how little they've been covered by other people, so I'm really happy to be filling the niche. A lot of people certainly seem to like it! :)

@@HenrythePaleoGuy That sounds awesome! Most people don’t even know the New Guinea echidnas (long-beaked echidnas) exist, so it’d be great if you brought them to the spotlight on here, especially considering that most if not all of the three species are critically endangered and flat-out awesome. That certainly applies to the five kiwi species too! Most people probably think there’s only one species of kiwi and echidna (and the same can be said of numerous, numerous other groups; in some cases, few people know that some of the lesser known and reclusive animal groups even exist [colugos, agoutis, New Guinea dasyurids, chevrotains, plethodontid and hynobiid salamanders, tinamous, hyraxes, beaked whales, neotropical wood turtles, South American didelphids, and multiple catfish genuses, just to name a few of the many examples]). I’m glad you’re taking it upon yourself to occupy this important niche! I commend you in your efforts to popularize/bring to the public’s attention some of the fascinating extant animal groups which are largely unknown to the average person.

Are there any exterior differentiations to help tell them apart? Thanks, Owen.

They are under the broader family of Scombridae with them, though they do sit outside the tribe of Thunnini, which other researchers and myself consider that to be the grouping which encompasses the true tuna. They're not that far removed, but it makes sense phylogenetically to leave them out. I can still cover them in another video though. ;)

What Tuna species have paired veins & arteries (“counter current heat exchange”)? Interesting because these species will have exceptionally low omega 3 contents, not the species you want to buy for brain & heart health! From Sahar & Soltan, “Levels of Omega 3 fatty acids in Australian Seafood” (Asia Pac J Clin Nutr 2008) Southern Bluefin Tuna, Omega 3 is lower than tropical species Coral Trout or Barramundi! Seemingly it’s all about maintaining blood circulation & our cold water species have evolved to have high levels of omega 3s whereas Bluefin Tuna & other tuna species (?) do it through paired veins & arteries.

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.
