Tunas are really amazing fish that lurk the ocean. These torpedo-like fish are very fascinating and you should definitely learn more about them.
life cycle/ reproduction
The tuna has an amazing life cycle/ reproduction. First, the tuna lays its eggs after four-six days. Second, this aquatic animals larvae first survive on the oil in the egg sac. Then, they begin to eat other organisms. Fourth, juvenile tuna eat voraciously and starts shoaling. Next, the adult tuna migrates in schools. Lastly, sexually mature tunas release eggs and spawn for external fertilization. For example, this silver, blue, and yellow scaled fish produces about thirty million eggs! Those 30 million eggs are hidden floating in the water. After at least 24 hours, the eggs hatch and roam the ocean floor by themselves.
habitat
This subtropical fish lives in an interesting habitat. On the Atlantic Coast of North America in mid-May, they move northward along the eastern edge of the Gulf Stream, past the Bahama Islands, and up to Nova Scotia. There, they fatten and feed on schools of herring, menhaden, and mackerel until October. Atlantic Bluefins live in subtropical and temperate waters of the North Atlantic Oceans, the Mediterranean, and Black Seas. Bluefins are highly migratory and limited numbers of individuals may cross the Atlantic in as little as 60 days and are widely distributed throughout the Atlantic. Besides that, these fast swimming fish can be found from Newfoundland all the way to the coast of Brazil!

Modern Australian Cuisine
http://usa.angloinfo.com/lifestyle/food-and-drink/ is where I found the history on Modern Australian Cusine. Modern Australian Cuisine has been strongly influenced by the palettes of migrants to the country. The influx of immigrants from Eastern Europe, Asia and the middle east has brought a vast range of new flavors. It usually will have a side of vegetables and meat but it matters what kind of cuisine it is.
DINER/SUPER: is usually served at 17:00 - 20:00 depending on when kids and parents get together.
LUNCH: lunch breaks occur usually at 11:00 - 13:00. It usually consists of vegetables like; green beans, kale, and other greens depending on the region.
BREAKFAST: first meal of the day so in the morning you eat it. Coffee, cereal, milk, eggs, and other morning things are usually served on the menu.
