The little tunny (Euthynnus alletteratus) is a species of tuna in the family Scombridae. It is also known as the false albacore, little tuna, bonita, or erroneously as the blue bonito. Euthynnus alletteratus is found in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean and Black seas; in the western Atlantic, it ranges from Brazil to the New England states. The little tunny is a pelagic fish that can be found regularly in both offshore and inshore waters, and it is classified as a highly migratory species. The little tunny is best identified by the “worm-like” markings on its back and the dark spots appearing between its pectoral and ventral fins. It has a compact and streamlined body built to facilitate bursts of speed, as well as endurance while swimming. Its torpedo-shaped, robust body is made for powerful swimming. The little tunny is small in body size compared to other tuna species.
