Description
The longtail tuna (Thunnus tonggol) inhabits continental shelf and ocean waters in warm temperate and tropical regions of the Indo-west Pacific. It is a common species in Queensland waters but during the summer it can be found as far south as Twofold Bay in southern NSW. Previously called ‘northern bluefin tuna’ in Australia, the longtail tuna is a relatively small, slender species that grows to a weight of 36 kg and length of 136 cm; it is more commonly 80-90 cm and 10-15 kg. In comparison, the true ‘northern bluefin’ (Thunnus orientalis) can exceed 500 kg in weight and reach almost 300 cm in length. In Bahasa we call “Tongkol Abu-abu”
We process and supply frozen Longtail Tuna. Most landings now tend to be small. Available from 1000up.
