ʻO ka tuna ka iʻa ʻā. ʻO ia hoʻi, ʻimi lākou i nā iʻa ʻē aʻe e hānai iā lākou iho. No ka tuna, ʻo ia ka herring, mackerel, a me crustaceans. Ma muli o ko lākou nui, liʻiliʻi nā mea ʻaihue. ʻO kēia ka nui o nā iʻa pahi, kekahi mau koholā, a me nā manō.
Noho ka tuna i ke kai. Hiki ke loaʻa iā lākou ma nā ʻāpana climatic āpau, koe wale nō ma ka ʻāina polar. ʻO ka inoa tuna mai ka ʻōlelo a ka poʻe Helene kahiko: ʻo ka huaʻōlelo "thyno" ʻo ia hoʻi kekahi mea e like me "Ke wikiwiki nei wau, ka ʻino". Pili kēia i ka neʻe wikiwiki o ka iʻa.
Hiki i ka tuna ke piʻi i ka lōʻihi o ke kino a ʻelua a me ka hapa mika. E like me ke kānāwai, ʻoi aku ke kaumaha o ka tuna ma mua o 20 kilokani, ʻoi aku kekahi ma mua o 100 kilokani. Akā he mau hiʻohiʻona nui kēia. He kino hina hina a i ʻole ʻulaʻula ka tuna. He liʻiliʻi ko lākou mau unahi a ʻike ʻia ma kahi kokoke. Mai kahi mamao aku, me he mea lā he ʻili pahee ko lākou. ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona kūikawā o ka tuna ko lākou mau piko ma ke kua a me ka ʻōpū. He ʻano pahikakī ka ʻūhā o ka tuna.
ʻO ka tuna kekahi o nā meaʻai nui loa no ka iʻa. He ʻulaʻula a momona ko lākou ʻiʻo. Loaʻa ka hapa nui o ka tuna ma Iapana, ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, a me South Korea. ʻO kekahi mau ʻano tuna, e like me ka tuna ʻulaʻula a i ʻole ka tuna ʻulaʻula hema, e pōʻino loa ana no ka mea he nui loa ka hopu ʻana o ke kanaka.
Hoʻohana ʻia nā ipu e hopu ai i ka tuna. He ʻupena kēia e hiki ai iā lākou ke ʻau i loko akā ʻaʻole i waho. Ma Iapana a me nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe, aia nā ʻupena drift nui a nā moku e huki ai ma hope o lākou. Ua pāpā ʻia kēia no ka mea he nui nā iʻa a me nā manō i hopu ʻia a pono e mālama ʻia. No laila, ʻaʻole e hana ʻia a ʻoi aku ka lawaiʻa ʻana o ka tuna ma kekahi mau wahi o ke kai, aia nā paʻi ma nā kini i manaʻo ʻia e hōʻoia i ka hoʻomau.
