California Yellowtail 



California Yellowtail 



Seriola dorsalis (Gill) 



The yellowtail is found on our Pacific Coast from Mazatlan 

 and Cape San Lucas north to the Santa Barbara Islands. It 

 usually occurs in abundance about Coronado Island during the 

 spawning season, arriving in July and leaving in the fall. It 

 reaches a length of 3 feet, is an excellent food-fish, and is much 

 sought by anglers. At Coronado Island it is one of the many 

 really great game-fishes.
