Tuna
( Added: Thu Jan 12 2006 Hits: 62)
|
Tuna are several species of ocean-dwelling fish in the
family Scombridae, mostly in the genus Thunnus. Tuna
are fast swimmers and include several species that are
warm-blooded. Unlike most ocean fish species, which
have white flesh, the flesh of tuna is pink. This is because
the tuna's blood has a higher oxygen carrying ability than
other fish species. Some of the larger tuna species such
as the bluefin tuna can raise their blood temperature
above the water temperature with muscular activity. This
enables them to live in cooler waters and survive a wider
range of circumstances. |
