Tuna is an interesting fish with some striking facts worth noting. One such fact is that tunas can swim up to 75 kilometers per hour, making them some of the fastest fish in the world.

While fish is generally considered healthy, it's important to note that tuna is relatively low in omega-3 fatty acids and fairly high in mercury. Therefore, it is recommended not to eat too much tuna, especially for pregnant women and young children.

I could just shoot 8 pictures when it started to rain outside!

Another interesting fact about tuna is that the size of this fish has decreased dramatically over the years. In the past, a tuna could weigh up to 900 kilograms, but nowadays a top fish only weighs around 200 kilograms.

A worrying fact is that tuna is a highly fished species and that the extinction of the bluefin tuna is near. For this reason, people are currently looking for ways to breed tuna instead of catching it in the wild. This could help to ensure the survival of this beautiful fish species while contributing to sustainable fishing.
