Tuna An active and agile predator, the tuna has a sleek, streamlined body, and is among the fastest-swimming pelagic fish – 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.

- Ground Fishing Tantas Ledge, Gulf of Maine. In September of 2003 we spent a week fishing Tantas Ledge in the Gulf of Maine. The weather was excellent and the Atlantic was calm for the most part.

Although the dogfish (small sharks) had invaded the fishing grounds, we were able to catch good numbers of cod, haddock and cusk on Norwegian style jigs.
