To distinguish these fish, you better compare the fin length of the pectoral fins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pectoral fins on yellowfin tuna are longer and reach past the second dorsal fin. Bluefins have shorter pectoral fins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In adult fish, the yellowfin have a much longer second dorsal fin and anal fin. In some large specimens these fins may reach more than halfway back to the tail base.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bluefin Tuna does not reach past the beginning of the second dorsal fin. A Yellowfin\u2019s pectoral fin is noticeably longer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Colour<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yellowfin Tuna have a clear yellow lateral line from their head to their tail above the pectoral fins. Bluefins have a dark blue and greenish lateral line.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second dorsal fin on a yellowfin tuna is bright yellow, whereas those of his bigger cousin are gray and yellow.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_996\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-996\" class=\"size-large wp-image-996\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomscatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/8EA3B725-658D-4863-A39F-72B0FB812391-1024x924.jpeg\" alt=\"Bluefin tuna: dark fins\" width=\"1024\" height=\"924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tomscatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/8EA3B725-658D-4863-A39F-72B0FB812391-1024x924.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tomscatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/8EA3B725-658D-4863-A39F-72B0FB812391-300x271.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.tomscatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/8EA3B725-658D-4863-A39F-72B0FB812391-768x693.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.tomscatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/8EA3B725-658D-4863-A39F-72B0FB812391.jpeg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-996\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bluefin tuna: dark fins, and greenish lateral line<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Tail colour<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although it\u2019s subtle, both fish species have a slight tail colour difference.

But to make things more complicated, they often share common habitats; like for example the Canary Islands or Madeira. But you won\u2019t catch a bluefin tuna in Cape Verde; landing a yellowfin in Nova Scotia is rare. Let\u2019s get into detail.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_985\" style=\"width: 693px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-985\" class=\"size-large wp-image-985\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomscatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Agregar-un-ti\u0301tulo-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Distribution and habitats of yellowfin and bluefin tuna\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-985\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Distribution and habitats of yellowfin and bluefin tuna<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><b>Yellowfin Tuna<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yellowfin tuna can be found worldwide in tropical and subtropical oceans. They are pelagic fish and prefer offshore waters, although they occasionally come closer inshore when the temperatures are higher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Great Yellowfin tuna fishing destinations are Baja California, Southern California (Mexico), Panama, Costa Rica, Hawaii, Caribbean, Cape Verde, Canary Islands (La Gomera, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote), Ascension Island and Saint Helena in the Atlantic Ocean, South Africa, Maldives, Madagascar, Mauritius and Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Bluefin Tuna<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strictly speaking, experts distinguish 3 species of bluefin tuna: atlantic, pacific, and southern bluefin tuna. The three species of bluefin have divided the world\u2019s oceans among themselves, and they roam all planetary seas except the polar. But they prefer the colder to temperate waters. Bluefin tuna migrate from northeast America towards the Mediterranean Sea and the gulf of Mexico for spawning. In the Canary Islands bluefin tuna show up during winter and spring, when the water heats up, the yellowfins take their place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pacific bluefins are found widely in the northern Pacific Ocean, from Japan to the Philippine Sea (where they spawn) and from the western coast of North America to all the way down to Mexico.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The southern bluefin tuna is found in open southern Hemisphere waters. They can be found between Java and Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the best bluefin tuna fishing destinations are Nova Scotia, Madeira, Canary Islands, the Strait of Gibraltar, Ebro Delta and Balearic Islands in Spain, Sicily, Sardinia, Italy and Australia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>So, these are the differences between the <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">yellowfin tuna and the bluefin tuna.
