Talk:Bonito

Image
What is on the image, Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg, is Euthynnus pelamys, but the scientific name had changed to Katsuwonus pelamis. First, genus names both are not Sarda as the article describes. Second, the Japanese article ja:& claims that the English name for Katsuwonus pelamis is "skipjack tuna". And the description within the image is "bonito" indeed.

We should research that the term "bonito" covers how many kinds of fish, and fix the article accordingly. http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonito_%28straalvinnige%29 is NOT mentioned but EQUAL --Puzzlet Chung 07:54, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

Disambiguation. Brasillian places
There's a few different places in Brasil called 'Bonito'. I linked one at the top there (which I had been searching for), however I notice on the portuguese wikipedia 'Bonito' is a full on disambiguation page : http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonito  I dont know the exact disambiguation procedure, but I guess there should be a Bonito (disambiguation) page here. -- Harry Wood 11:12, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Turkish Palamut
I am not sure if the Black Sea version is a separate sub-species, but it is a very very popular catch there. It surely deserves a mention here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.77.168.53 (talk) 06:33, 21 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I've heard that the Bonito is, pound for pound, the best fighting fish in the world. I don't know of a source for this, but I think this should be included in the article if it can be verified.  I've caught Bonito myself from the fishing pier in Imperial Beach, California and the fight they put up is astounding for a fish of their size, zig zagging through the water and bending a medium action trolling rod with 40 lb. test fishing line in a 90 degree arc, while weighing only between 5 to 8 pounds.

Etymology
The Spanish word "bonito", meaning "beautiful" is unrelated and irrelevant. See el sustantivo bonito referido al pez viene de una forma atestiguada en el bajo latín y latín medieval boniton, de extraña estructura y oscuro origen, que otros llamaban byza, probable préstamo del griego βῦζα, que propiamente significaba "búho"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.34.115.81 (talk) 09:37, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
