The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Effects of temperature on global patterns of tuna and billfish richness (2008, result): “Given that tunas generally possess greater heterothermic capacities relative to billfishes (Dickson 1995), these results are consistent with previous studies.”
Killer whale predation on bluefin tuna: exploring the hypothesis of the endurance-exhaustion technique (2007, background): “Biochemical correlates of high energy turnover include a high mitochondrial density, elevated levels of aerobic and anaerobic enzymes and a high tissue buffering capacity (Dickson 1994).”
