When most people think of wildlife impacted by the Gulf oil disaster, they picture birds, turtles and dolphins but there are many smaller organisms that are critical to the food web which are feeling the brunt of the impact. One such vital species is bluefin tuna. These majestic fish grow to be half a ton, but they start their life as larvae. The Gulf of Mexico is 1 of 2 spawning locations for bluefin in the world and the Deepwater Horizon disaster coincided with their spawning period.
