One of the most economically important fish species bluefin tuna-BFT (<i>Thunnus thynnus</i> L.) in aquaculture considering high prices in the related business. Accordingly, farmers care about fattening fishes and some analyses provide significant knowledge, especially blood analyses for them. </span><span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); text-align: justify; text-indent: 47.2667px; font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Courier New";">In the study, blood samples were recovered from fishes (10 male and 12 female) in fattening farms at Ildır, Çeşme, İzmir province, East of Aegean Sea. Fork length and weight values were 140–180cm, and 40–80kg, respectively.

Results during the fattened period in growing cages indicates that BFTs were under pressure and stress attacks because of unnatural habitats such as feeding, narrow area etc. in farm area. Also, males were more sensitive and undergo more stress than females.</span><br></p>
