The Super Fish Southern Bluefin Tuna

Transoceanic Southern Bluefin Tuna the ultimate Super Fish travel thousands of kilometers across the ocean, they are warm blooded like us and can swim at an amazing 70kmh, true Ferrari's of the sea.

They where once abundant but have been bought to the brink of extinction buy over fishing, only 5 - 9% of the breeding stock remains and yet they are still fished for on a large scale.

The majority of Southern Blue Fin Tuna caught in Australia are held in small pens off the Coast of Port Lincoln South Australia.

These young oceanic fish are held by the hundreds of thousands and fattened up before being slaughtered, they never get a chance to migrate across the open ocean and spawn.

Held in theses pens they will never reach speeds of 70kmh and cannot answer their natural instinct to migrate 1000's of klm.

Victor harbor South Australia is home to a Swim With The Tuna Circus where Ill informed tourists are enticed to pay to swim with captive tuna in a small enclosure.

Sadly many people are ill informed about the plight of the Southern Bluefin Tuna, it's near extinction and the injustice of keeping a migratory Super Fish imprisoned in small pens.
