No other fish can swim as fast or far as tuna; its fins help reduce turbulence and drag as it swims through the water.
Yellowfin tuna, like other tuna species, is highly migratory. It can travel across entire ocean basins and therefore requires cooperative international management to ensure its abundance and sustainability.
Yellowfin is sold as “light tuna” when canned, is called “ahi” when sold fresh or frozen, and called “maguro” when in sushi.
Over 40 species of symbiotic parasites live on the gills and within the guts of yellowtail. [2]
No California Yellowtail can be taken commercially if it is less than 28 inches (71 cm) long. [9]
Known as Hamachi in sushi, this fish has a buttery texture due to its naturally high oil content. [3]
