Tuna are large, carnivorous marine fish from the family Scombridae. They are related to Mackerals and Bonitos. They are notable for their tasty meat, incredibly fast swimming speeds, and some of them are warm blooded, which is unique in the fish world.

A tuna is a Saltwater Fish of the mackerel family, whose size between the five species can range from 20 inches to 15 feet in length.

The tuna has a unique circulatory system, which allows the fish to keep a higher body temperature than the water in which they swim.

The bluefin tuna can have a potential lifespan of up to 50 years.
