Joe Blow, maybe you should stop replying to comments with stuff like “how can people enjoy killing?” It’s repetitive and annoying. I can have tuna on my sandwich if I want, as long as the population is stable.
Garrett Kiger There are 61 Tuna/ Tuna-like fishes classified to be used as canned tuna, 14 are tuna! The prices should be representative of which is which.
Well he's not wrong tho, the canned tunas are mostly the size of an average sized salmon. Bluefin is much more expensive, and I never heard of canned bluefin tuna
Depends on the species of tuna. Albacore (usually the tuna that gets canned) are more around the size of salmon, but bluefin and yellowfin can get quite large.
Monitor lizards are kinda similar. Their physiology makes them more active than other reptiles as their throats can pump air into their lungs. Some monitors are comparable to mammals in their pursuit hunting strategies and wide foraging. They are also able to raise their body temperature a little more than their surroundings.
@@ilovedogs7224 Spontaneous combustion was almost always caused by people falling asleep with cigarettes. Clothes use to be more flammable, skin used to be more oily on average, more people smoked, and cigarettes didn't have any sort of fire safety features added to them. Google Spontaneous combustion and you will almost always see pictures with just calves, and feet remaining. Odds are the person fell asleep sitting up, cigarette touching their thigh, their oily skin, fat, and flammable clothes would catch fire and then heat travels upwards so everything above is burnt away. Fat burns slowly so that's why houses wouldnt burn down but the walls would be coated with a dark oily residue.
As a animal/nature lover, I’m shocked that I didn’t know about the fin folding ability that tuna have. Appreciate all the informative details given throughout this video, Henry!
It actually goes beyond just folding their fins: they can use muscle contractions to subtly change the shape of the fins that CAN’T be folded, making them even more hydrodynamic.
Imagine spending years evolving to become the perfect predator all for it to backfire on you when you realised you'd really just been evolving into a nutritious snack.
One of my earliest childhood books was about a school of small fish being terrorized by a Tuna until they teamed up and tricked the Tuna into thinking they were a much bigger fish. Which when I think about it is kind of a strange topic for a children's book.
Humans don't look at most things that we consume or that have minimal ability to harm us as super predators. Impressive creatures, but I do believe that's the main reason.
@@plantenthusiast3052 yeah, comparing any animal to us is like comparing the Average bloke to Albert Einstein, not exactly a fair comparison seeing how one is famed for his incredibile Intellect and the other is, well, normal
Interesting, thanks for making a video about Tunas that isn't all about fishing or eating them. A few months ago I looked for documentaries about the Tuna, since I don't recall ever hearing about such, couldn't find any.
Can I just say thanks for making this video? I live near the coast of prime Bluefin habitat, and volunteer in ocean education. Yet most of the time, when I ask people what a tuna looks like, they have no clue. It makes me sad, which is why I volunteer to tell them. On a boating trip one day, I saw a Bluefin leaping from the water, and that was a sight I’m glad to have seen before I can’t. Oh, and you forgot to mention that even their *eyeballs* are flush with their body, and that not even modern technology can imitate the power and efficiency of the tuna.
When you've sacrificed every defining trait for people to remember you by to achieve the most optimal build. Tuna are the one true speedrunners of life.
Whoa, one learnes something new every day. I never even thought about tuna, how big they are etc. All I knew was that I like to eat them....thanks for opening my eyes. 👍👍👍
These fish are amazing. I have caught a couple smaller bluefins (70 - 220 lbs) over the years and it is unbelievable how powerful they are. Basically a large football made almost entirely of muscle that can swim 40+ mph. When you get them on the boat their bodies are very warm to the touch from swimming so hard
Hooked into some enormous Pacific Yellowtails when I lived on Roi-Namur... they will wear, you, out. They can fight so hard, and generate so much muscle energy heat, that they can literally start cooking themselves, sort of.
@@HenrythePaleoGuy (Sorry, I got a bit ahead of myself with that comment - I have to type when the thought hits me, or I lose it altogether.

Ever wondered if a tuna can smile? In celebration of #WorldTunaDay(May 2nd) , check out our Super Tuna video and learn about one of the sea’s most surprisingly fascinating creatures!! 🐟 ua-cam.com/video/f0XGO7QeAtg/v-deo.html
The sad irony is that their power is what makes them so delicious: massive fish that are mostly muscle tissue. That’s pretty much the ideal game animal
I heard, that in Japan, there are laws that prohibit of fishing wild pacific blue fin tunas. And so, they have made fishing farms solely for tunas. And I never thought there is more to this fish than just a good source of highly valued food. Good thing this was on the recommendation!
Very true, blue tuna is only allowed to be catched during a certain season of the year and only in small ammounts due to the decreasing tuna population!
You're missing some facts, these tuna are doing outstanding in areas where they are being fished wrangler style. Look at southern Australia's, new Zealand and southern California's catches and local populations, they're breaking like crazy in the pens and making a comeback
If you’ve ever fished the sea, you know that a tuna fights harder pound for pound than anything. A shame that many of them are caught using machinery. Waste of a good fight, in my opinion.
I grew up fishing in freshwater. When I caught my first tuna (a little guy, not over 5 lbs) it immediately became apparent this was a different sort of fish. The blood seems so much more bloody. They don't flop around, they vibrate that tail. The raw power in the things is astonishing if you're used to other fish. They certainly left an impression on me.
Some people actually use rods and reels. I just started tuna fishing three years ago, never used anything but muscle and skill. I never take more than I need. I respect all things wild and wish there was more responsible fishers out there.
This amazing and beautiful creature is woefully under appreciated and respected. Thank you for producing this video which I hope makes at least some folk think harder about feeding their cat with Tuna. The bio mass in the worlds oceans has been reduced by more than half in the last 50 years alone and we continue to over fish and pollute the oceans with plastics and heavy metals.
The other fish that comes to mind as a super-fast and agile predator is the barracuda. Like the tuna they are designed to lessen drag and cut through water although they do this by having a very flat body rather than the tear-drop shape of the tuna. As far as endurance the tuna wins hands down, and the barracuda is limited to tropical waters since it cannot thermoregulate, but is there any information as to which fish is speedier? btw I was directed here by Mothlight Media and am very glad I took the suggestion. I look forward to many happy hours learning amazing stuff from your vids. p.s. you have a new subscriber.
If you ever decide to do a spotlight on an Australian bird please do the Eastern Bristlebird. The extreme bushfires may have caused it's extinction this last fortnight. ( I'm devastated)
I just want to point out how videos like this are replacing channels like animal planet, discovery channel, and the history channel. Those used to be my favorites until they started airing off topic garbage. These videos are becoming much more detailed, maintain focus, and entertainment value for the viewers. Plus a 15 sec add beats 5 mins of commercials any day
First I want to say that ever since I saw James and the Giant Peach, with the scene portraying mechanized shark shaped monsters surrounding and wiping out huge schools of tuna, I've been heartbroken for the plight of the Atlantic tuna As a recreational fisherman, the big tunas have always been the biggest game. The false albacore that run closer to shore are almost inedible to most people, but they are much less expensive to go after and are well worth the fight, as they can be fought on light tackle. Nobody fishes for the yellowfin and larger tuna on tackle that would extend the fight. The amazing food quality of the fish makes it so you want to catch it and get it in the boat as quick as possible, but the eyesight and intelligence means that you can't just drop a heavy wire and hook and crank in dinner. So even when you want the fish on ice asap, you can be looking at a brutal fight once they are hooked. To defend recreational fishing I would ask: if all fishing but recreational was stopped, and recreational fishing increased 10x, would the stocks increase? You betcha. Now if recreational was stopped, and only commercial continued at the same rate the stock's would continue to fall.

this is a really amazing video, really informative, but most importantly, eye-opening to me and other people who have notions that Tuna is just food. Now that you mention all of its amazing evolutionary adaptation, i feel like a fool for not noticing it. It can grow fat exactly because it's so great in hunting. It's cross section and fillet have a gradation of red meat which isn't so stark in other fishes exactly because it's a red muscle adaptation that allows better performance. Holy shit have i learnt a lot in a 6 min video
I think the reason why Tunas are as you said underappretiated or often generally not seen as a predator is because they don't look like one. All the other predators we admire, like sharks, killer whales, crocodiles etc, have large mouth with large teeth, while tunas mouth are relatively small and have no visible teeth.
