Uniqueness

A Yellow fin Tuna’s diet is squid,fish or big schools of sprats.  Yellow fin tuna(Thunnus albacares).  weighs] about 450 pounds and can grow up to seven feet long.

Treats and conflict with humans

Yellow fin tuna are decreasing because of fisherman catching them and pollution of the waters from oil leaks, or commercial fishing boats setting neat's.  The
tuna also form schools with other tuna like skip jack and big eye. Because of this the are often caught as by catch by fishing boats that are fishing for skip jack.

I think we should have a rule that we stop all tuna fishing for a couple years so they have time to breed.
