Yellowfin tuna are a member of the family Scombridae. These heavy-bodied fish are recognised by their bright yellow dorsal and anal fins and finlets. They have a dark blue back and a vivid broad golden yellow stripe that runs from eye to tail. They also have moderately long pectoral fins. Adult yellowfin are opportunistic carnivores that feed on squid, skipjack tuna, smaller yellowfin tuna, mackerel, pilchards and pelagic crabs
Bigeye tuna are a member of the family Scombridae and are easily distinguished by their noticeably larger eyes, hence the name. They have moderately long pectoral fins and yellow dorsal and anal fins.Juvenile bigeye tuna are often confused with yellowfin tuna of the same size, however, the size of the eye and length of the anal fin separates these species.
Albacore are a member of the family Scombridae and are recognised by their very long pectoral fins, which are the longest of all tunas. Albacore are also characterised by a dark yellow first dorsal fin and pale yellow second dorsal fin. Albacore are opportunistic carnivores that feed on planktonic crustaceans, squid and small fish.
Similar to yellowfin tuna, however, albacore possess an elongated pectoral fin and a distinctive white rear border on the caudal fin, which is unique to this species.
