English term or phrase: ahi and bigeye tuna
In Hawaii, “Ahi” refers to two species, the Bigeye Tuna and the Yellowfin Tuna. Similar in general appearance, the Bigeye may be recognized by its plump body, its larger head and its unusually large eyes. Ahi and Bigeye Tuna are widely recognized as high-mercury fishes.

Olha, pelas referências apresentadas o gênero para as espécies de atum é o Thunnus, imagino que ‘ahi’ seja uma nomenclatura específica do Hawaii ou de alguma espécie ou subespécie típica da região.

Asker: No texto que estou traduzindo, o "yellowfin" é uma espécie do gênero "ahi".

Asker: Só para confirmar, o texto que traduzi está errado, e realmente "Yellowfin" é sinônimo de "ahi".
