  Bonito - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bonito is a name given to various species of medium-sized, predatory fish of the genus Sarda, in the mackerel family, especially the common or Atlantic bonito (Sarda sarda) and the Pacific bonito (Sarda chiliensis).
The meat of young or small bonito can be of lighter color, close to that of skipjack tuna, and is sometimes used as a cheaper substitute of skipjack, especially for canning purposes.
Bonito may not be marketed as tuna in all countries, however.
