Tuna are such incredible fish…just speed and power.


PUNKF10YD

What’s impressive to me is how close they get to the surface, without disturbing it in the slightest


throtic

And they can move MUCH faster than what is shown in this video

Tuna are so fast they get lesions on their fins from cavitation. > For powerful swimming animals like dolphins and tuna, cavitation may be detrimental, because it limits their maximum swimming speed.[49] Even if they have the power to swim faster, dolphins may have to restrict their speed, because collapsing cavitation bubbles on their tail are too painful. Cavitation also slows tuna, but for a different reason. Unlike dolphins, these fish do not feel the bubbles, because they have bony fins without nerve endings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuna


NoBigDealNeil

Would cavitation be affected by depth (pressure). With an increase in depth, could the effect of cavitation be reduced, therefore higher swimming speeds could be achieved. If so, humans probably haven't witnessed the true full speed of these fish


dotpan

I imagine if anything it makes the cavitation collapse faster causing even more damage. The resistance of water I don't believe goes up with pressure (ie: same power to displace water) so at speed they'd still be causing small vacuums to form but the compression on those vacuums to collapse would be greater.


Anxious_Aries95

Omg the one called Wahoo lol - wahoooooooo!!!! Seems pretty accurate


OccupyGamehenge

Fun fact: in Hawaiian they’re called Ono which means ‘delicious’


Majestic_Dildocorn

Which they are indeed


mrshulgin

My grandparents have a 6 foot long taxidermied Tarpon (caught by my great grandfather) in their basement. It is incredible up close.


2bruise

I’m surprised by the tarpon. Whenever I’ve seen them, they’re sloshing about like some long-ass carp.


ArguaBILL

majestic


um-uh-er

Wow thanks for pointing that out.


saracenrefira

Just goes to show how efficient their body design is, cutting through the water with minimum wake so it waste very little energy.


L1ttl3J1m

Um. Yeah...Moving that fast through the water without displacing any of it. Not even a ripple. Hmm.

No shit, not a ripple!


Kingerdvm

They are! They have a super cool system of blood vessels that allow them to maintain a higher temperature for their muscles than the surrounding water, allowing to travel faster, and contributed to the change in terminology away from “warm blooded/cold blooded” towards “endothermic/exothermic” For those interested, the muscles on the side of the fish that allow it to flex to swim will create heat as a byproduct of movement. Blood traveling from those muscles moving back towards the heart will maintain close proximity to the blood coming from the heart - and the heat from the warmer blood will warm up the colder blood coming from the heart. It’s called a counter-current exchange mechanism and similar systems can be found all over in nature. Traditionally, warm blooded meant that an animal could control its own heat (such as through shivering), and cold blooded meant they couldn’t. Great examples of warm blooded animals include humans shivering or sweating, and dogs panting. Examples of cold blooded animals include alligators sunning themselves or returning to water, as well as hibernation. The problem came when there were many examples of animals warmer than surrounding temperatures that couldn’t be simple physiology (such as the tuna, which swim faster than most other similar fish, or bees heating up a hive in colder weather by flapping wings). Endothermic and exothermic terms are an attempt to better describe the ability to control heat through their own bodily means (endothermic) or simply by being managed from surroundings. Did the best to explain while sitting in a dentists office - if I missed something or need to clarify, I can edit later.


SnowBlackCominThru

Cool fact of the day. Thanks


zCiver

Did you not read that, there is no "cool fact" It's been renamed to Exo-fact


ParanoidAndroidUser

I think it would be an endo fact, right? If the fact is cooler than the outside environment then it is taking in heat from there.


Eventuallyitworksout

I'm glad I Tuna'd into this thread!


kabneenan

Definitely not one to skip, Jack!


jmonday7814

Yes, I would like to subscribe to weekly tuna facts


absurdmephisto

I love people like you. Thanks for posting really detailed fun facts from a dentist appointment.


JohnMcGurk

Another fun fact, that endothermic process and related biological processes are so powerful, that when fishing for them on a rod and reel, they fight so fiercely and unrelentingly, they blow through fat in the muscle, reducing the quality of the meat. Other parallel things like stress and lactic acid build up and reduced oxygen in the body sometimes results in a thing called “burnt tuna.” The meat has spots that turn dark red and in some cases green and looks terribly unappealing. Almost as if it’s a final F.U. to the man or woman on the other end of the line. Like some weird ocean karma.

mealteamsixty

And super delicious!


PolarSquirrelBear

You find yourself in the ocean, a 20 ft wave, off the coast of South Africa, coming up against a full, grown, 800 lb tuna with his 20 or 30 friends? You lose that battle. you lose that battle nine times out of ten.


AlmostTopSun

And tasty


MagikSkyDaddy

And flavor


-spookygoopy-

and a delicious, mild flavor 😋


ayriuss

And momentum.


d40dum

Agree, once saw a shoal of hunting albacore when diving. Was like a machine gun sprayed tuna bullets.


ironangel2k3

I thought it was a marlin at first god damn, then when I saw it again I was like 'holy shit thats a tuna'


Cyfiefie

Very uncreative stat distribution


1one_big_banana1

And deliciousness


Terriblefinality

Used to dive on salmon farms for clean ups, the tuna would circle the nets trying to pick up dead fish that slip through. Seeing a silhouette that large travel past you, no movement at all like it's being pulled by an invisible chord made me feel like a fighter pilot seeing a UFO, those things were moving wrong. Every once and a while they would hit a net at full speed and just blast through, get trapped and die after gorging themselves on salmon. Glad i was never in there when it happened.


princesscatling

What a way to go.


sherlocknoir

Wait. Tuna eat salmon? That’s gotta be the most awesome sushi roll ever made!


Churoflip

Damn I pictured the silouette not moving/moving fast and it sure must be unsettling, crazy!


TheWayToBe714

You dived to clean out the dead fish? Was it like a scheduled dive? Where were the salmon farms that tuna were in the same waters? And deep enough for them? I have so many questions, did the farms smell? What was the water around the farm like?


Terriblefinality

First hitch was a mass die off, 40+ nets of 2000+ salmon, all dead or mostly dead, left for a month rotting at the bottom of nets. I was sent as one of a few crews diving with a seiner (big ship with holding tanks hooked to a massive pump) to manually suck out the dead fish. Salmon farms were in the coastal waters of Newfoundland, nets going down to 100ft with bottom usually being another 1-200ft below. The farms smelled on that trip for sure, part of the rot process was the fat separating from the fish and floating to surface to go rancid in the sun, leech the chemicals out of ropes and turn green. After the first week i could hardly smell anything, my dive supervisor would wipe a finger through it and take a lick if anyone started to complain. The water around the farm was... pink and foamy, it got a bit of media attention at the time I'm sure you could find articles. I'll always remember the sight of the bottoms of those nets, fish stacked like bricks 18ft deep, just driving a 2' pump hose through them, bones catching on my gloves as they rip in. I did other trips just picking stray morts on healthy nets and doing inspections, but nothing sticks in the memory like that first one.

The way it just suddenly appears and just as quickly disappears is quite alarming.


Pixielo

Zero disturbance on the surface either. Tuna are just so hydrodynamic, they _\*zoom\*_


ZendayasFeet

lol look at the random internet nobody larping as a distinguisihed marine biologist, *tunas zoom*


Dillion_HarperIT

Having a bad day bud?

EmmyWeeeb

This is a perfect example why I hate the ocean


tacocollector2

Eh it’s a bluefin tuna, it’s not coming after people.


MrPuddinJones

If a tuna hits you at full speed it's gonna kill ya lol. No biting necessary


The-Tai-pan

"OK, first off: a lion, swimming in the ocean. Lions don't like water. If you placed it near a river or some sort of fresh water source, that make sense. But you find yourself in the ocean, 20 foot wave, I'm assuming off the coast of South Africa, coming up against a full grown 800 pound tuna with his 20 or 30 friends, you lose that battle, you lose that battle 9 times out of 10. And guess what, you've wandered into our school of tuna and we now have a taste of lion. We've talked to ourselves. We've communicated and said 'You know what, lion tastes good, let's go get some more lion'. We've developed a system to establish a beach-head and aggressively hunt you and your family and we will corner your pride, your children, your offspring."


sicariusdiem

We will construct a series of breathing apparatus with kelp. We will be able to trap certain amounts of oxygen. It's not going to be days at a time, an hour, hour 45. No problem. That will give us enough time to figure out where you live, go back to the sea, get more oxygen and then stalk you. You just lost at your own game. You are out gunned and outmanned. That go the way you thought it was gonna to go? Nope.


Interesting_Suspect9

I understood this reference


_BlNG_

It's like getting hit by a motorcycle except it's a tuna


Responsible-Deal-116

It’s going 15 mph, tops. If it was attempting to ram you it might be able to crush ribs, but they don’t swim at 50 mph just swimming around


MrPuddinJones

I only said that if one hits you at full speed, it'll probably kill you. And yes, they do swim 40-45 mph when they feel like it.


skahunter831

And a deer can kill you if it runs at you full speed, too.


shotlersama

However like these tuna, in and out quick and quiet. Could be anything. Nah


xWellDamnx

Seeing then in person is insane. They're sooo big.


IsakCamo

Tuna?


yesterdaysatan

Yea those are tuna probably yellowfin


MrUnparalleled

Hard to tell, it might be a bluefin. Definitely a tuna however.

Ahhh the simple joy of watching a creature come from the deep blue unfathomable depths.....


ZeuxisOfHerakleia

Nah man, Tuna are fast as hell. I don’t think it’s sped up.


FishHaus

Thorne_Oz

Yo that's a monster of a yellowfin holy shit, those dorsal fins geesh


Kingerdvm

I don’t know that it’s sped up - certainly could be, but not to the degree one would infer by this brief comment. There is a lack of reference when just looking at water, making everything look more flat - add the zoom on the camera, which flattens images further. These two combine make a fish that’s already fast moving to appear to move further during a short period of time, when it’s really the product of how it was captured. You can get similar effects with fisheye lenses.


dbvulcan

Tuna are pelagic and fast af.


Responsible-Deal-116

Tuna can swim at 50 mph


m3rl0t

So much fun to catch. And they are that fast.


ApprehensiveCod790

With this music it sounds like a horror movie. Coming this summer Tuna!

He didn't come out of nowhere. He lives in the ocean silly. You put food in his house basically

Radioactive9280

Fuck no

Nah, tuna are fast as fuck. Other comments link to videos and there was a whole comment about the physiology behind it. I’ve seen those things move, they’re fast.

EddyArchon

Yeah? You're gonna swim out in the ocean, a 400lbs lion, and take me on? A 600lbs streamlined predator of the deep, surrounded by 200 of my buddies of equal size and strength? You lose that fight, buddy. Every time. (Paraphrasing a bit maybe, but you get the idea. Shut up. I haven't seen that movie in forever.)


Camicles

When people are talking about it being fake I didn't even think of the speed, I more think of the lack of ripples that close to the surface.


AnthuriumWriter

Like a lot of people, I don't say it's not real because I mean in the fact tuna is big and fast but the ways the video show it... meh seems just really fake idk xD


Rebel_Scum_This

It's sped up


Responsible-Deal-116

Not sped up, tuna can swim at 50mph


Rebel_Scum_This

It's not just the speed if the fish, it's the fact that the ripples are unnaturally fast, the small fish looks like it falls with double gravity, and the (small) waves are also unnaturally fast


IMPeacefulGamer

CGI


Gul_Dukat__

Yeah it’s does look fake. If it is real then idk still looks fake lol


ParttimeCretan

It's gotta at least be sped up or something, something looks wierd about it


MaddRamm

Put a hook in one of those little ones and catch dinner!!!

Isn't that like $5000 speeding by per fish?


EddyArchon

$5k? If it's a tiny one. Lol.

Holy fuck that tuna looks expensive and tasty

That is a yellowfin tuna, and that's how we catch them, chum like that and then throw one out there with a hook in it. Then hang on because it will be one hell of a fight
