Nomes alternativos: white tuna
The Dogtooth Tuna is a pelagic marine fish, which can be found at depths of over 100m, usually preferring large drop offs, or almost vertical walls. It is widespread throughout the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific area.
A largest of the bonito tribe, it has a growth potential of over 2m in length and 130+ kg in weight.
Its back is dark blue and sides and stomach silver. The canine-like conical teeth give the Dogtooth Tuna an agressive look.
Large specimens can be one of the most difficult gamefish to capture.
