Yellowfin tuna inhabit oceanic waters, generally well offshore. Is found the full length of the West Australian coastline with a tendency to school up into the warmer northern waters of the state. It is distinguished by yellow dorsal and anal fins that become elongated with age. The medium red flesh of the Yellowfin Tuna is popular in sashimi markets such as Japan, as well as in the USA and Europe where it is a common table fish.

Most Yellowfin caught in WA are in the range of 20 to 50 kg.
