"Fishing with Nets and Tridents in the Bay of Naples, plate 89: Exploring the World of Thynnus" Dive into the captivating world of Thynnus, a genus that encompasses various species of tuna. Plate 89 takes us to the picturesque Bay of Naples, where fishermen employ traditional methods like nets and tridents to catch these magnificent creatures. Among them is the iconic Bluefin tuna, known for its impressive size and strength. Witness as skilled fishermen navigate their boats through azure waters, chasing after this prized fish. The thrill of reeling in a Bluefin tuna is unmatched, making it a favorite among anglers worldwide. But Thynnus doesn't stop at just one species - there's also the Narrow-barred Spanish mackerel and torpedo scad swimming alongside these majestic tunas. Their vibrant colors create an underwater spectacle that leaves onlookers in awe. Bonito, another member of the Thunnus family, joins this aquatic gathering too. Its sleek body glides effortlessly through the water as it chases its prey with lightning speed. Long-fin tunny adds to this diverse group with its distinctive appearance and remarkable agility. However, we must acknowledge that not all is well within this marine ecosystem. The Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) finds itself endangered due to overfishing and habitat loss. It serves as a reminder for us to protect these incredible creatures before they vanish from our seas forever. Traveling across continents brings us to Kusimoto in South Japan – home to fish farms cultivating Bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus). Here we witness innovative techniques employed by farmers who work tirelessly to ensure sustainable practices while meeting global demand for this delicacy. Let's not forget about Sarda sarda or Short-Finned Tunny; their presence further enriches our exploration into Thynnus' realm. Pelamis sarda also makes an appearance, showcasing the diversity within this genus.
