. American food and game fishes. A popular account of all the species found in America north of the equator, with keys for ready identification, life histories and methods of capture. Fishes -- North America. The Great Tunnies Two species of small size in our waters, little valued as food. The first of these, the ocean bonito (G. pelamis) occurs in all warm seas, is pelagic, not common anywhere, and on our Atlantic Coast it has been seen as far north as Cape Cod and the Bermudas. It is also frequent in southern California. This species may be distinguished from the next by the distinct curve in the lateral line below second dorsal and in having 4 lengthwise stripes on side below lateral line. The other species, the little tunny (G. iillctci\i1a) is also pelagic, occurring in all warm seas. It is not uncommon in the Mediterranean and the West Indies; on our Atlantic Coast it. occurs as far north as Cape Cod. It is not known from Cali- fornia. From the ocean bonito it may be readily distinguished by the absence of a curve in the lateral line and in having no stripes. GENUS THUNNUS SOUTH The Great Tunnies Body oblong, robust, with very slender caudal peduncle; head conic; mouth wide, with one series of small, conic teeth in the jaws and bands of minute villiform or sand-like teeth on the vomer and palatines; scales present, those of the pectoral region forming an obscure corselet. 278.
