Tumours in fish, as in higher animals and humans, have been detected in almost all organs ( Wellings 1969 ; Ferguson 1989 ). Teleosts mainly develop mesenchymal tumours ( Mawdesley‐Thomas 1972 ), whereas higher vertebrates more commonly develop tumours with an endodermal or ectodermal origin. Some mesenchymal tumours are rare, including liposarcoma ( Volpatti, Patarnello, Novelli, D'Angelo, Musetti & Galeotti 1998 ; Bambir, Helgason, Marino & Macrì 2000 ) and rhabdomyosarcoma ( Bambir 2000 ), while other tumours, for example schwannoma in goldfish, Carassius auratus (L.), are characteristic for particular fish species ( Schlumberger 1957 ). Lipomas, fibrolipomas and liposarcoma have been reported in a striped bream, Lithognathus mormyrus (L.), in a marine fish farm in southern Italy ( Volpatti 1998 ). A single liposarcoma has been also reported in a juvenile halibut, Hippoglossus hippoglossus (L.) ( Bambir 2000 ). Few data are available in the literature concerning bluefin tuna diseases in general ( Munday, Sawada, Cribb & Hayward 2003 ) and neoplasms in particular ( Lester & Kelly 1983 ), although this species is becoming of interest for fish farming, especially in the Mediterranean Sea. This note describes a spontaneously occurring tumour in a farmed Mediterranean bluefin
