Bluefin tuna potential feeding and spawning habitats were derived in the North Atlantic and adjacent seas.
Daily chlorophyll-a fronts were mainly used as a proxy of food availability for ABFT.
CHL, SST, surface currents, SSHa and monthly increase of SST defined the suitable conditions for spawning.
Feeding habitat of larger fish extended further North consistent with their higher tolerance to low SST.
The dynamics of spawning habitat is captured by the model in the two main reproduction grounds.
