Itscolour is dark bluish above, and greyish, tinged and spottedwith silvery, below. The tunny is a pelagic fish, butperiodically approaches the shore, wandering in largeshoals, at least in the Mediterranean, within well-ascer-tained areas along the coast. The causes by which itswanderings are regulated in the Atlantic Ocean are muchless understood; it not unfrequently appears in small com-panies or singly in the English Channel and in the GermanOcean, probably in pursuit of the shoals of pilchards andherrings on which it feeds. The regularity of its appcar-,ance on certain parts of the coasts of the Mediterraneanhas led to the establishment of a systematic fishery, whichhas been carried on from the time of the Phoenicians tothe present day. Immense numbers of tunnies were caught23—23 on the Spanish coast and in the Sea of Marmora, where,however, this industry has much declined The Sardiniantunnies were considered to be of superior excellence.
