1. LA THONINE (Thynnus thunina) = Little tunny (Euthynnus alletteratus)
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.

2. THON A AILES COURTES (Thynnus brachypterus) = Atlantic bonito (Sarda sarda)
The Atlantic bonito (Sarda sarda) is a large mackerel-like fish of the family Scombridae. It is common in shallow waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Black Sea, where it is an important commercial and game fish. The Atlantic bonito can grow up to 75 cm and weigh 5-6 kg. Sarda sarda is a strong swimmer and normally travels in fairly large schools. The spawning season is June, and specimens 12-15 cm long are taken in September off Long Island. Sarda sarda eat mackerel, menhaden, alewives, silversides, sand lances, and other fishes, as well as squid.
