Large schools of yellowfin migrate through Fiji waters twice a year and so are found here almost all year round.

Places such as the Kadavu seamount almost always hold yellowfin as well as skipjack tuna.

The average size school yellowfin tuna weighs in between 15lb and 50lbs and they are often found along the outer barrier reef slopes and sometimes, inside the lagoons and passageways.
