Can anyone verify the point in the article about they eat "pelagic red crab"? Cullenfluffyjennings 04:32, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
Or how Japan can be both the largest importer of bluefin tuna and at the same time of of the largest exporters? Why would it be such a large exporter if the domestic demand was so great? Lime in the Coconut 15:45, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
In the Environmental Issues section I made two small style modifications. I modified how the "ICCAT" abbreviation was sequenced under the second bullet point and instead of "The ICCAT" it is changed to "ICCAT". The second style modification was to make the bullet point titles bold.
I added hyperlinks for CITES and ICCAT.
This section doesn't have many citations so I marked some spots where citations would be good. For example, a citation should be given when saying the Tuna population has dropped by 75% to 97%. Citations should also be given when saying "conservation groups say...." This information should be available for someone to look up. XXVII (talk) 07:06, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
The article says the population is not threatened, but then immediately claims it is overfished. Wouldn't the definition of "overfished" be threatening the population? 173.85.37.96 (talk) 04:02, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
I'm puzzled by this 'not threatened' comment, since to my knowledge the Pacific Bluefin is the most endangered of all tuna species. For example, PEW Trust's latest 2013 figures put the population down 96% from the historic high. http://www.pewenvironment.org/news-room/fact-sheets/the-story-of-pacific-bluefin-tuna-85899470355
There is a lot of overlap between the Thermoregulation, Conservation Status, Environmental Issues, and Farming sections for the Pacific bluefin tuna, Northern bluefin tuna, and Southern bluefin tuna. Some of this information is also repeated on the Tuna page. Since most of the information is general and not specifically related to the individual species I propose that this information should be discussed at the genus level (i.e. merge with the Tuna page). An alternate proposal might be to create new pages geared to the specific topics like Thermoregulation in Tuna and Conservation Status, Environmental Issues, and Farming of Bluefin Tuna.
Note: I have copied and pasted this talking point on each of the pages listed above. XXVII (talk) 07:45, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
This is a yuge fish. Shouldn't there be something in this article about its length and weight? Hermanoere (talk) 20:25, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

I forgot to add an edit summary for my recent changes, but they included removing broken and out of date references and adding new references that describe the current status as overfished but rebuilding and no longer subject to overfishing. -IGTaylor (talk) 17:39, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
