The Atlantic bluefin tuna is a species of tuna in the family Scombridae. It is variously known as the northern bluefin tuna and giant bluefin tuna. It may exceed 900 kg (2,000 lb) in weight. More than 80% Atlantic bluefin tuna have been sold in Japan, mostly auctioned, at the famous Tsukiji (now as Toyosu) Market in Tokyo.
