Spawning fish and larvae are encountered in waters with surface temperatures between 20° and 30°C. An opportunistic feeder, preying on a wide variety of fishes, crustaceans, cephalopods, salps, and other marine animals. Mostly canned (Ref. 9684).

The migration pattern of these tuna is revealed by the capture of progressively larger fish along the migration route (Ref. 6390). Juveniles 6-8 cm long have been collected on the North West Shelf of Austrlia and larger juveniles (20-60 cm FL) have been caught on the continental shelf further south (22-34°S) (Ref. 30319).Young fish are generally closely associated with coastal and continental shelf waters, although some immature fish, from 3 years of age, move away from the shelf to feed in the waters of the West Wind Drift (40-45°S) of the Southern Ocean (Ref. 30318). They are caught by longline as far away as South Africa (Ref. 6390). By maturity, most southern bluefin tuna lead an oceanic, pelagic existence (Ref. 6390).Feed on fish and benthic invertebrates (Ref. 168). Collette, B.B. and C.E. Nauen 1983 FAO Species Catalogue.
