Brief Description
The Atlantic bluefin tuna is one of the open ocean’s quickest and most powerful predators, and it’s the target of a number of local and large-scale fisheries across its range. Weights of up to 2000 pounds (900 kg) and lengths of over 15 feet (4.6 m) have been recorded in the past.
The Atlantic bluefin tuna is the world’s biggest tuna and the mackerel family’s largest species. Atlantic bluefin tuna consume a wide range of food, although they appear to favour pelagic fish and crustaceans that they can swallow whole.

Brief Description
The Brown Trout is a European species of salmonid fish that has been widely introduced into suitable environments globally. Brown Trout are very adaptable and are so varied that they are assigned to at least 50 separate species.
As the name suggests, brown trout are brown in colour, which varies from light silvery brown to the more common bolden brown hue. They have darker spots on their backs and sides, with pale bellies.
