where is tuna fished
An active and agile predator, the tuna has a sleek, streamlined body, and is among the fastest-swimming pelagic fish â the yellowfin tuna, for example, is capable of speeds of up to 75 km/h (47 mph). Found in warm seas, it is extensively fished commercially, and is popular as a game fish. As a result of over-fishing, stocks of some tuna species such as the southern bluefin tuna have been reduced dangerously close to the point of extinction.
