Thunnus tonggol is a species of tuna of tropical Indo-West Pacific waters.. It is commonly known as the longtail tuna [1] or northern bluefin tuna. [4] [5] The usage of the latter name, mainly in Australia to distinguish it from the southern bluefin tuna, leads to easy confusion with Thunnus thynnus of the Atlantic and Thunnus orientalis of the North Pacific.

Hawaiians prefer to eat aku either raw as a sashimi or poke or seared in Japanese tataki style.

The yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) is a species of tuna found in pelagic waters of tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide. Yellowfin is often marketed as ahi , from the Hawaiian ʻahi , a name also used there for the closely related bigeye tuna . [ 3 ]
The fish's name comes from the Portuguese and Spanish bonito (there's no evidence of the origin of the name), identical to the adjective meaning 'pretty'. However, the noun referring to the fish seems to come from the low and medieval Latin form boniton, a word with a strange structure and an obscure origin, related to the word byza, a possible borrowing from the Greek βῦζα, 'owl'.
The bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) is a species of true tuna of the genus Thunnus, belonging to the wider mackerel family Scombridae. In Hawaiian, it is one of two species known as ʻahi, the other being the yellowfin tuna. [4] Bigeye tuna are found in the open waters of all tropical and temperate oceans, but not in the Mediterranean Sea.
