Bigeye tunas are excellent swimmers, with a number of remarkable adaptations which make them efficient predators of the ocean. Unlike many other fish, they cannot pump water over their gills, but instead, swim with their mouth open which forces water over their gills. While this is an efficient way of getting water over their gills, it means that if they stop swimming, they will suffocate.

Whales and tuna fishermen are the predators for dolphins. The dolphins follow schools of tuna so the large tuna boats look for tuna by looking for dolphins.

Many tuna companies say they don't do this anymore, but that isn't necessarily true. You can see video on this if you want to see what happen to the dolphins.
