    📚 Natural History
    Life Cycle
    Spawning seems to extend over a long period; fish in different maturity stages are frequently caught at the same time.

    Migration
    Oceanodromous. Migrating within oceans typically between spawning and different feeding areas, as tunas do. Migrations should be cyclical and predictable and cover more than 100 km.
