Atlantic bluefin or Long Tail Tuna are native to both the western and eastern Atlantic Ocean, as well as the Mediterranean Sea.

Atlantic bluefin tuna are capable of reaching well over 450 kilograms (992 lb) in weight, and rival the black marlin and blue marlin as the largest bony fish.

The northern bluefin tuna typically hunts small fish and invertebrates such as sardines, herring, mackerel, squid and crustaceans.
