this page uses text adapted from the public domain California Department of Fish and Game page Tuna & Mackerels Group.
The article says:
The typical size is 2 m (6.6 ft) at about 500 kg (1,100 lb).
Really? Can someone who is expert in this area double check that? I appreciate that Northern bluefin tuna can grow that big, but surely that is not the typical size. That's enormous: half a metric tonne, 0.55 tons, or 78 stone. Other sources I have looked at, such as this, suggest much smaller. -- DZR 19:03, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
The line "and it is thus better to avoid consumption of bluefin tuna until stocks recover." is inappropriate for an encyclopedia article. Maybe you could find some source that offers this advice and comment on that. 24.136.6.69 ( talk) 02:08, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
The IUCN Red List currently divides the Northern bluefin tuna into two Infra-specific Taxa--the Eastern Atlantic stock and the Western Atlantic stock. These two stocks have been assessed with two different levels of endagerment: Endangered for the Eastern stock, and Critically Endangered for the Western stock. This Wikipedia article currently lists the conservation status for the entire Northern bluefin tuna population as Critically Endangered. Is there a way to properly convey the correct information in the Taxobox? By the way, the IUCN Red List currently states the conservation status for the entire Northern bluefin tuna population as Data_Deficient. I'm not sure if listing DD in this article is entirely appropriate, but I am certain that it is not factually correct to list the entire population as Critically Endangered.

What's the sigfigance of this? is it unique to this species? otherwise why is it included, most articles on fish don't contain specific details on their anatomy. unsigned
There is a lot of overlap between the Thermoregulation, Conservation Status, Environmental Issues, and Farming sections for the Pacific bluefin tuna, Northern bluefin tuna, and Southern bluefin tuna. Some of this information is also repeated on the Tuna page. Since most of the information is general and not specifically related to the individual species I propose that this information should be discussed at the genus level (i.e. merge with the Tuna page). An alternate proposal might be to create new pages geared to the specific topics like Thermoregulation in Tuna and Conservation Status, Environmental Issues, and Farming of Bluefin Tuna.

Northern bluefin tuna →
Atlantic bluefin tuna – None of the four criteria at
WP:FISH#Article titles are fulfilled by the name northern bluefin tuna for Thunnus thynnus. Specification for the four article name points at WP:FISH:
In summary: None of the criteria are fulfilled by the name northern bluefin tuna. Three (arguably all four) are fulfilled by Atlantic bluefin tuna. The WP:FISH requirement is that at least one is fulfilled. If the page is moved, I propose northern bluefin tuna is changed to a disambiguation page to avoid confusion. I will do that unless there are major objections.
I have left a link to this discussion at WP:FISH.

The article seems to be several years out of date. It needs to be brought up to the present with information about whether the population is growing, declining, considered endangered and if so by whom, etc. Vaughan Pratt ( talk) 07:16, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

If I am not mistaken, shouldn't all of the mentions about Japanese bluefin tuna fisheries refer to the Pacific species? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pseudanthias ( talk • contribs) 05:41, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
Please merge this article with the "Pacific" bluefin tuna article. It's ridiculous to have two separate articles on the same fish. 73.6.96.168 ( talk) 13:46, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

I'm a scientist that works with Atlantic tuna fisheries in the Mediterranean. I want to challenge the reference that says they are near threatened, because recent studies show that stocks have steadily increased. ICCAT has published these data, and even the IUCN website says "Least concern" and not "near threatened". 195.57.117.234 ( talk) 23:24, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
