Description
I've painted the beautiful Bluefin tuna, one of the most magnificent fish swimming in the world's oceans, which can grow up to 12 feet in length, weigh up to 1,500 pounds and live up to 30 years. Their torpedo-shaped bodies are built for speed and endurance. They can even retract their dorsal and pectoral fins into slots to reduce drag. Unfortunately the Bluefin tuna is considered the finest sushi in the world. Because of the demand, so many giant Bluefin have been killed in the Mediterranean that the population is in danger of collapse. Pacific Bluefin tuna overfishing has led to 96% population reduction. Between 1970 & 1990 Bluefin tuna fishing increased by 2,000 %. The average price paid to Atlantic fishermen for Bluefin exported to Japan rose 10,000%. This beautiful, powerful fish is metallic blue on top and silver white on the bottom with bright yellow "finlets" on their tails.
