Bigeye Tuna

The Bigeye Tuna is a highly migratory pelagic fish capable of diving to extreme depths of 500 meters. They make these deep dives to hunt for squid and other deep-water prey in the ocean's mesopelagic zone.

Thunnus obesus is a crucial species for global commercial fisheries due to its large size and high-quality meat. They are heavily targeted by longline fishing vessels across the world's temperate and tropical oceans.

The scientific name for the Bigeye Tuna is Thunnus obesus. It belongs to the Scombridae family, distinguishing it from other large migratory pelagic fish.

Bigeye Tunas possess specialized physiological adaptations that allow them to withstand the immense pressure and cold temperatures found at 500 meters. Their unique cardiovascular systems allow them to thrive in the deep ocean environments where they hunt.
