Talk:Yellowfin tuna

Initial comments
The "ahi" disambiguation page directs to "tuna," though Ahi is actually specifically yellowfin tuna. Plus, neither the "tuna" article nor this article mention "ahi" anywhere. Funkeboy 18:37, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Okay, so, I edited the "ahi" disambiguation page to point here. This article could probably still benefit from mentioning "ahi" somewhere.

 * Removed folk etymology for ahi, which comes from Hawaiian ahi "Hawaiian tuna fishes, especially the yellow-fin tuna (Thunnus albacares)," which in turn derives from earlier *kasi (*k &gt; //, *s &gt; /h/). Hawaiian ahi 'fire' comes from earlier *afi. Source: Hawaiian Dictionary (1986) compiled by Mary Kawena Pukui and Samuel Hoyt Elbert. Joel (talk) 21:39, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I think maguro is usually bluefin tuna in Japan. It says so here as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sushi_and_sashimi_ingredients So I'll just take that last comment off..

I don't think Ahi should point to this page. http://www.hawaii-seafood.org/bigeye.html shows that Bigeye tuna is also called Ahi. Merriam-Webster online also http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ahi shows Bigeye and Yellowfin as Ahi. In Hawaii, any red meat tuna may be Ahi. Maguro is red tuna in Japanese and Yellowfin may be listed as maguro.

I guess the disambiguation page should just point to Big-Eye and perhaps Albacore as well, although I would think it better to point to the main Tuna page. This link has a good list of Tuna names which suggests albacore. http://www.gotmercury.org/pdf/ChicagoSushi.pdf

The photo in the Life History section, Thunnus albacares.jpg, is upside down. Ellis Solros (talk) 16:45, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Just wanted to say: what a beautiful animal! Looks like something out of a fantasy novel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.79.172.163 (talk) 03:17, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
