Ecology: Pacific blue-fin tuna is a top predator species of tuna found in the northern pacific ocean. Over fishing from humans, nets, and plastic kills them or sickens them.
Facts: Large schools of Blue-fin Tuna often aggregate around oceanic fronts, which is around temperatures from 3 degrees Celsius to 30 degrees.
Adaptations: Blue-fin can dive deeper than 1000m by reducing body temperature. Blue-fin swim fast by their stream lined torpedo body at vast distances in great speed.
Blue-fin is highly migratory and can live in temperatures as cold as 5 degree Celsius to 20 degrees, but can adapt pretty quickly when the waters are warm at temperatures like 20 degrees Celsius to 30 degrees. Blue-fin has a body shape that allows it to better swim in both cold and warm water. Searching for food.
Evolutionary conditions: Pacific Blue-fin tuna is a warm blooded animal. Possessing a system of blood vessels that enables heat generation through exertion, enabling them to survive the cold depths of environmental changes.
Pretend that there is a large tsunami washes over a tribe of Blue-fin tuna and sends half of the tribe into the land. This affects the survival of the fittest greatly in the surviving half of the tribe, by reducing the population into the future generation of the tuna in that tribe which could provide more food and reproduce more successfully.
Genetics: The Blue-fin tuna is one of the top animals in the world that is endangered of extinction. This sliver of trillions and billions of sequences of the tuna will be transcribed:
TAC-AAA-TGA-AGG-CAT-ACT
mRNA: AUG-UUU-ACU-UCC-GUA-UGA
AA's: Start(meth.), Pheny., Threocine, Serine, Valine, Stop.
Diseases:
Pacific Blue-fin tuna's diseases is very limited in nutritional and environmental diseases. Tunas are very athletic, and only (about the closes thing to a disease) sometimes bear what is called a Thunnus spp, which causes morbidity, mortality, or economic loss in the environment of the organism it self.

Cell structure and processes: My organism, the Blue-fin tuna, is a multi-cellular animal that takes in oxygen, glucose, and water to only expel carbon dioxide and water (sweat).
Negative Feedback: Blue-fin tuna are warm blooded, and possess a system of blood vessels that enables heat to generate through exertion to be used for Thermo-regulation, enabling them to keep their body temperature higher than the temperature of the surrounding water.

Blue-fin tuna originated from an exothermic ancestor. Earliest tuna fossils have been found in the late paleocene or early eocene epochs of the tetiary and have been found in the Tethys sea deposits from the middle east in clay formation.
