Longfin Yellowtail
Seriola rivoliana
- Group: Other

- IUCN status: LC
A powerful amberjack of outer reef slopes and offshore banks, it cruises in small groups down to around 160 metres and runs down fish and invertebrates. Young fish shelter under floating objects, and large adults have at times carried ciguatera, so local advice on eating them is worth heeding.
