Information about Longtail Tuna (Thunnus tonggol):
|
Longtail tuna are taken by trolling and as an incidental handline catch by prawn
trawlers. Longtail tuna are popular with recreational fishers on the east coast.
Longtail tuna are distributed across northern Australia. They are a neritic
species that appear to make a north-south migration following southern intrusions of warm
water.
Spawning occurs in summer and they first spawn at 60-70 cm fork length. The
maximum size is unknown, however fish 136 cm long, weighing 30 kg have been recorded from
southern Queensland.
Longtail tuna are usually eaten fresh or smoked and are used for canning.
