Megalops atlanticus
Description: Distinguishing the Yellowfin Tuna from the Blackfin or Bigeye is sometimes difficult as many visual features are similar. Finlets of the Yellowfin are yellow, trimmed in black and gold stripe along side. Light underside always shows spots and/or wavy lines. Second dorsal and anal fins of very large individuals are elongated and lunate--a feature not found on any other Tuna
* The Florida records quoted are from the Department of Environmental Protection's printed publication, Fishing Lines and are not necessarily the most current ones. The records are provided as only as a benchmark. |
