Tuna are warm-blooded, which is a rare trait among fish, and are known for their speed and high-quality flesh. They are able to regulate their body temperature, allowing them to survive in cooler waters. The life cycle of a tuna fish begins when a female lays millions of eggs, which are then fertilized by a male. The eggs float freely in the ocean until they hatch into larvae. As they grow, they transition from a diet of plankton to hunting small fish and invertebrates. | Tuna are warm-blooded, which is a rare trait among fish, and are known for their speed and high-quality flesh.
