| Common names in the English language are ladyfish, big-eyed herring, bonefish, fiddler, skipjack, springer, and tenpounder. |
| Also, canned tuna is often composed of smaller species of tuna, such as albacore and skipjack, both of which have lower levels of mercury. |
| Back in the Edo period there was a fashion for eating the first skipjack of the season. |
| Skipjack is said to be very healthy and robust, and skipjack tuna is targeted mainly by the long line and the purse seine fishery. |
| Cruise open water on an authentic skipjack, and explore tidal inlets by canoe or kayak. |
