• Life History and Stock Structure of Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus thynnus) (2007, result): “Similar behaviors have been observed for T. orientalis (Kitagawa et al., 2006) and T. albacares (Schaefer, 1998, 2001) during the breeding phase.”
• Biochemical composition of the Atlantic bonito Sarda sarda from the Aegean Sea (eastern Mediterranean Sea) in different stages of sexual maturity (2006, background): “There is little information on the energetic costs of reproduction in scombroids (Schaefer, 2001).”
• Temperature and dissolved oxygen requirements for survival of yellowfin tuna, Thunnus albacares, larvae (2011, background): “All true tuna species (tribe Thunnini) spawn inwarmwatersworldwide (Schaefer, 2001) and their early life stages may be dependent on these warm temperatures for optimal growth and survival until they become endothermic (Graham and Dickson, 2001).”
• Mitochondrial DNA and electronic tracking reveal population structure of Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) (2008, background): “Electronic tracking studies have observed blueWn tuna to have traveled to this area where they exhibited prolonged periods of residency in warm waters suitable for spawning (>24°C, Schaefer 2001; Block et al. 2005, Fig. 2c).”
• Preparation and Administration of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist (GnRHa) Implants for the Artificial Control of Reproductive Maturation in Captive-Reared Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus thynnus thynnus) (2007, background): “…GnRHa implants is in the induction of spawning in females with asynchronous ovarian development and a daily or near-daily spawning frequency (reviewed by Mylonas and Zohar, 2001), such as the bluefin tuna (Schaefer, 2001; Medina et al., 2002; Corriero et al., 2003; Masuma et al., 2003).”
• Movements of bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean recorded by pop-up satellite archival tags (2005, background): “Atlantic bluefin tuna are believed to spawn in sea surface temperatures of 24� C and higher (Richards 1976; NRC 1994; Mather et al. 1995; Schaefer 2001 ), yet none of our temperature records of 24� C and higher were collected during the spring spawning period.”
• Age and growth in southern bluefin tuna, Thunnus maccoyii (Castelnau): Direct estimation from otoliths, scales and vertebrae (2008, result): “We suggest hat in SBT and Atlantic bluefin, an explanation for the sexual imorphism in growth may lie in their high fecundities (Farley nd Davis, 1998—SBT; Baglin, 1982—ABT) and very long eproductive lives (Hurley et al., 1981; Schaefer, 2001, 2003) ompared to those of yellowfin and albacore.”
• Movement and behaviour of large southern bluefin tuna (Thunnus maccoyii) in the Australian region determined using pop‐up satellite archival tags (2008, background): “Individuals tagged in this study clearly demonstrated a preference for waters at 18–20 C, similar to that observed in juvenile SBT (Gunn and Block, 2001) and other bluefin species (Block et al., 2001; Marcinek et al., 2001; Stokesbury et al., 2004; Kitagawa et al., 2006).”
• Annual migrations, diving behavior, and thermal biology of Atlantic bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus, on their Gulf of Mexico breeding grounds (2007, background): “…with estimates of spawning times for other species of tunas in the wild (McPherson 1991; Nikaido et al. 1991; Schaefer 1996, 1998) and captive populations of spawning Pacific bluefin tunas (S. Masuma, Japan Sea Farming Association, personal communication) and yellowfin tuna (Schaefer 2001).”
• Atlantic bluefin tuna: population dynamics, ecology, fisheries and management (2005, methodology): “Reproduction As all tuna species, bluefin tuna is oviparous and iteroparous (Schaefer 2001).”
• Predicting the occurrence of Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) larvae in the northern Gulf of Mexico: building a classification model from archival data (2010, background): “Like many other large pelagic fishes, their spawning grounds are warm (Schaefer, 2001) and largely oligotrophic (Richardson, 2007).”
• Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus Thynnus) Farming and Fattening in the Mediterranean Sea (2010, background): “…International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), the international body responsible for the management of and allocation of fishing quotas (Total Allowable Catches [TACs]) for the Atlantic bluefin tuna (Schaefer, 2001; Block et al., 2005; ICCAT, 2005; Rooker et al., 2007).”
• Movements, behavior, and habitat utilization of yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) in the northeastern Pacific Ocean, ascertained through archival tag data (2007, background): “There were three yellowfin (tag nos.478, 525, and 644) that probably reached sexual maturity and were reproductively active during times at liberty in this study, based on estimates of growth and maturity for this area (Wild 1986; Schaefer 1998, 2001).”
