Not true, the Pacific BFT is a close relative to the Atlantic BFT, but tuna Do Not cross from the Pacific to the Atlantic oceans. The Pacific BFT does not grow nearly as big as the Atlantic BFT. |

Is that also true for Yellow Fin? I know the Pacific Yellow Fin seem to be much bigger than their Atlantic brothers. |

Yes Generally it is also true for yellowfin, though there may be some minor mixing around South Africa where the Indian Ocean meets the atlantic. |

Skippy, Accoring to the Large Pelagics Reaserch Center & Dr. Molly Lutcavage who is a world leader in BFT science there is an Atlantic population and a Pacific population. There may be a one off fish that goes here an there but they mainly stay within there parts of the globe (see link below).
I think Great Whites circumnavigate.........
