Scombridae, also known as the mackerel family, is a diverse group of fish that includes various species such as Atlantic Mackerel (Scomber scombrus) and Chub Mackerel (Scomber japonicus). These fish are characterized by their streamlined bodies and side view reveals their stunning features. In the vast ocean waters, Brandts cormorant (Phalacrocorax penicillatus) bursts through a school of Pacific Scombridae in search of its next meal. Meanwhile, Yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) can be seen hunting mackerel off the coast of Tenerife. The agility and speed with which they pursue their prey is truly remarkable. As Striped mackerels (Rastrelliger kanagurta) swim through the water, their mouths wide open to catch food particles floating around them. They filter out what they need while swimming together in shoals, creating a mesmerizing sight. The beauty continues with a captivating image of large Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), captive within growing pens. Their majestic presence showcases the importance of sustainable aquaculture practices for these magnificent creatures. Moving towards Nova Scotia's coastline, we find Atlantic bluefin tuna roaming freely in their natural habitat during October. It's an awe-inspiring sight to witness these powerful fish navigating through the pristine waters. Within this marine ecosystem, European barracuda (Sphyraena sphyraena) and Bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix) circle each other in an intricate dance. Their coexistence highlights the delicate balance maintained within our oceans. Lastly, we observe another glimpse into tuna farming where nets contain approximately 1000 Atlantic bluefin tunas per enclosure. This method allows for controlled breeding and conservation efforts to protect these valuable species from overfishing.
