About this work
Black skipjack tuna (Euthynnus lineatus), San José del Cabo, Baja California, Mexico. E. lineatus can be found in the Eastern tropical Pacific from San Simeon, California to northern Peru and the Galápagos Islands and can reach up to 92 centimetres (36 in) and a weight up to 11.6 kilograms (26 lb). It shows opportunistic predatory behavior, sharing its feeding pattern with other tunas, as well as dolphins and other large predatory fish, with which it also competes. Like other tunas, the fish breaths through ram ventilation, so it must continue swimming to intake oxygen.
