Atlantic bluefin tuna spawn at suboptimal temperatures for their offspring.

Life-history traits such as spawning migrations and timing of reproduction are adaptations to specific environmental constraints and seasonal cycles in many organisms' annual routines.

The reproductive schedule of Atlantic bluefin tuna varies between spawni...
