Tunas show a wide variety of life history strategies, spatial distributions and migratory
behaviors, yet they share a common trait of spawning only in tropical and sub-tropical …

Life-history traits such as spawning migrations and timing of reproduction are adaptations to
specific environmental constraints and seasonal cycles in many organisms' annual routines …

This research describes for the first time, and necessary for its practical application in
aquaculture, the morpho-physiological development, the allometric growth patterns, and …

The heavy exploitation rates of Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABFT) during the nineties propitiated
research into the larval ecology of ABFT and its associated species. The transition from a …

Copper ions (Cu) are essential to life maintenance, nonetheless, elevated concentrations
can be hazardous. Acute and sub-chronic toxic effects of this metal are well known and are …

Temperature ranges are important in explaining the worldwide distribution of tuna and
bonito larval habitats. Less is known about how the thermal tolerance of these species' …

The use of stable isotope analysis to study animal diets requires estimates of isotopic
turnover rates (half time, t50) and discrimination factors (Δ) for an accurate interpretation of …

In this study, we assessed the effect of environmental salinity and pH as independent factors
on larval survival of Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABFT–Thunnus thynnus) together with their whole …

Tuna spawning habitats are traditionally characterized using data sets of larvae or gonads
from mature adults and concurrent environmental variables. Data on egg distributions have …
