Probably not too hard, Tuna of most kinds are schooling fish and they no doubt herd 'em up then tear 'em up just like any other fish.

Them atlantic killer whales are from a different world and have different habits than pacific killers.I remember seeing them on t.v. up in ....Norway or somewheres crashing right up on the beach to grab a seal.Never seen footage or heard of that kinda action round these waters before.

Yup-- the transient whales in BC do chase seals and sealions up the rocks too. Norris Rocks get hit up by the whales a couple of times a year. In the Bering Sea, they will tip over ice flows that have seals on them... Really quite amazing animals.

The antarctic killers also nail seals and penquins right on the beaches as well. As I understand it, they are the ONLY thing that leopard seals in the antarctic are afraid of.

Dang, wonder how they would find our seals? Instead of a coast of net pens for feeding whales, we just need a couple of guys to chase seals of rocks when the whales are around.
