       y: The perpendicular distance, in miles, from the
          transect for 64 independent sightings of tuna
          schools.

_S_U_M_M_A_R_Y_:

     The `tuna' data frame has 64 rows and 1 columns.

     The data come from an aerial line transect survey of
     Southern Bluefin Tuna in the Great Australian Bight.
     An aircraft with two spotters on board flies randomly
     allocated line transects.  Each school of tuna sighted
     is counted and its perpendicular distance from the
     transect measured.  The survey was conducted in summer
     when tuna tend to stay on the surface.
