I think the Viking Fivestar crew are experts and know how to ID a tuna! Banding patterns when lit up are different between yellows and bigeyes for one.

They did have trouble once the fish were on ice and cleaned, plugs looks similar.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

AFAIK the only way to positively identify one from the other open them up and see if there is a white strand in the body cavity and striations on the liver. I know some of those guys and IMHO you killed 83 yellowfins, but that's not your fault. Quick question can you see the difference in the color of the meat between the "yellowfins" and the "bigeyes"? Bigeye meat is much darker than yellowfin meat. Its more like bluefin than yellowfin.

I have eaten bluefin, albacore and several yellowfins and this was NOT yellowfin meat
