Tuna are remarkable and impressive wild animals. The Atlantic bluefin can reach ten feet in length and weigh as much as ***0 pounds (more than a horse). Their specialized body shape, fins and scales enable some species of tuna to swim as fast as *3 miles per hour. Tuna swim incredible distances as they migrate.

Tuna is canned in edible vegetable oils, in brine, in water, or in various sauces. In the United States, canned tuna is sometimes called tuna fish and only albacore can legally be sold in canned form as "white meat tuna"; in other countries, yellowfin is also acceptable.

Canned tuna is usually classified into two categories: light meat tuna, which is mostly skipjack and sometimes yellowfin, and white meat tuna, which is usually albacore. The three major brands of canned tuna sold in the United States are Starkist, Chicken of the Sea, and Bumble Bee.
