EPA endangered rating

Read this news article which prompted me to reference the endangered rating of the blue fin tuna on wiki, found it wasn't here.[[1]] Albert Cruz 06:38, 22 April 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pikez33 (talk • contribs)

I removed the Food and Drink tag because we are talking about the animals and not eating the animals. XXVII (talk) 07:30, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Tuna page.

I recommend that this page be deleted. Any important information on this page not already on the Tuna page should be migrated over. XXVII (talk) 07:52, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose a merge. Tuna is about a variety of species not all in this genus. Eluchil404 (talk) 03:38, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with proposed merge. Tuna and Tunnus page information overlapping. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.6.96.228 (talk) 20:27, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose the merge, and keep the article. Thunnus is a very important subject in and of itself, as to be a useful adjunct for Wikipedia users. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marcwiki9 (talk • contribs) 03:53, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Oppose the merge, and keep the article. "Thunnus" ≠ "tuna". Period. Anyone who thinks so needs to learn the difference between a tribe and a genus. One might be able to make the argument that the two pages shouldn't contain so much redundancy, but that is really a clarion call to add to the encyclopedic knowledge that is specific to the genus and/or the tribe. Such specific information is out there in the scientific body of knowledge – it just needs to make its way here. —grolltech^(talk) 03:48, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Oppose per Grolltech's points. – Maky ^« talk » 04:39, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Referencing

The formatting of the reference list and intext references needs to brought into accordance with standards.Jazzvibes (talk) 10:24, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bias

The sentence "Some of the atrocities that rank higher are: the mindless hacking-off of shark fins of any and all shark species to feed the voracious appetite for shark fin soup in certain far eastern countries, illegal whaling, and many other atrocities too depressing to list them all here." is very subjective. The message is clear, there's no need for words as 'mindless' 'voracious' and 'too depressing to list'. Please rewrite with less bias. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.118.162.245 (talk) 09:20, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Overfishing

This section seems to be written specifically about the Bluefin, however the article is not specifically about them. More to the point, it is written in a tone that is not neutral. The implication that there is "disregard," while perhaps factual, is still opinion. At the very least this section needs more credible sources. 67.154.232.29 (talk) 13:05, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bluefin Tuna "Tunny" Uk - limited edition book!

Hi

re your recent article on the above, Please see attached flier

I wrote a 400 page book last year of the heyday of Bluefin Tunny off Scarborough and South coast during 1930's - 1950's , when the world record was shattered and brought to UK in 1932 by Col. E.T Peel the first president of the British Tunny Club with a 798lb Tunny, beating previous world record holder and famous novelist American Zane Grey's record by over 40lbs. book goes on to tell story of tunny and further record breaking fish in subsequent years and captors up to present time. The weight and sizes of these fish knock the recent catch off Dorset into oblivion - but show what sizes they can achieve if left alone to mature when they last appeared 70 years ago. Book also tells how perilously close we are to commercial extinction of this fish, particularly the larger sizes of which few now exist if fisherman still try to catch them.

This book can be found on eBay Item number: 290603575521, direct from myself by email m885ross@btinternet.com, or from the website advertised on the flier, or from Amazon, or from Hardy Tackle Shop Alnwick.

Please feel free to publish your flier in your paper, or advertise book in your paper, I'll happily sign book for anyone that buys a copy - This is strictly a limited edition of 250 standard copies at £89 each + £10 postage as a whopping A4 size 2kg book. The leather special edition is sold out - but there still are copies of the standard edition left.

The book records all Tuna "Tunny" caught in this period and shows hundreds of pics of actual catches, and record fish and captors, and tells the reader what tackle was used - including pics, and how to catch them on rod and line.

As i said this is a strictly limited edition so if anyone would like a copy pass on these details - but better be quick to ensure you get a copy.

flier attached - please feel free to circulate!

Regards

Mark Ross
