Atlantic Bluefin Tuna
O atum-rabilho-do-Atlântico (Thunnus thynnus) é um dos peixes mais grandes, mais rápidos e de maior valor econômico do mundo, com indivíduos que podem ultrapassar 600 quilogramas. Seu estado de conservação é em perigo (EN) e suas populações silvestres diminuíram drasticamente pela sobrepesca, tendo sido leiloado um único exemplar de qualidade por mais de três milhões de dólares no Japão.
Baleia jubarte
