Diet and trophic position of Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) inferred from stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis (2005, background): “Bluefin tuna prey on a wide variety of schooling fish, cephalopods, and benthic invertebrates, including silver hake (Merluccius bilinearis), Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus), Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus), krill (Meganyctiphanes bilinearis), sandlance (Ammodytes americanus), and squid (Cra”
Feeding habits and trophic levels of bluefin tuna Thunnus thynnus of different size classes in the Mediterranean Sea (2007, background): “However, 65% of the tuna collected had partially digested stomach contents or empty stomachs, either due to regurgitation caused by fishing operations (Chase, 2002), or to the length of time spent in the traps prior to capture.”
Life History and Stock Structure of Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus thynnus) (2007, background): “While no single taxon dominates, as a group, demersal organisms may comprise as much as 20% of the stomach contents by number (Chase, 2002).”
Diet of young Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) in eastern and western Atlantic foraging grounds (2010, methodology): “Previous studies of juvenile ABFT diet have used either stomach content analysis (SCA) (Ortiz de Zárate and Cort 1986; Eggleston and Bochenek 1990; Chase 2002; Sinopoli et al. 2004) or stable isotope analysis (SIA) (Estrada et al.”
Movements of bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean recorded by pop-up satellite archival tags (2005, background): “Atlantic bluefin tuna inhabiting the Gulf of Maine during the summer months are known to have a predominantly piscivorous diet, with sandlance (Ammodytes americanus), Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus), Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus), and unidentified squid species the most common prey items (”
Consumption impacts by marine mammals, fish, and seabirds on the Gulf of Maine–Georges Bank Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) complex during the years 1977–2002 (2006, methodology): “are common in the diets of many marine mammals, piscivorous fish, seabirds, and large pelagic fish of the region (Powers and Backus, 1987; Gannon et al., 1997, 1998; Palka et al., 1997; Ferland 1999; Overholtz et al., 2000; Chase, 2002; Read and Brownstein, 2003).”
Comparative ecology of widely distributed pelagic fish species in the North Atlantic: Implications for modelling climate and fisheries impacts (2014, background): “Adult bluefin tuna in the Gulf of Maine primarily eat herring, sandlance and mackerel (adults) (Crane, 1936; Chase, 2002; Estrada et al., 2005; Golet et al., 2007), while over a broad shelf area juvenile bluefin target sand lance (Chase, 2002; Golet et al.”
Atlantic bluefin tuna: population dynamics, ecology, fisheries and management (2005, methodology): “Biology Maturity Past studies have found that Thunnus thynnus mature at approximately 4 years of age for the East Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea, but at around 8 years for the West Atlantic (length at maturity is about 110-120cm (30-35 kg) versus about 200cm (150 kg), respectively, (see Mather et al”
