Global aquaculture production of Japanese amberjack (Seriola quinqueradiata) in thousand tonnes from 1950 to 2022, as reported by the FAO[3]

The Japanese amberjack or yellowtail, Seriola quinqueradiata, is a species of jack fish in the family Carangidae, native to the northwest Pacific Ocean. It is known as shiyu (鰤魚) in China, bang'eo (방어) in Korea, and buri () or hamachi () in Japan.

Although it is frequently listed on menus as "yellowtail tuna", it is a fish of an entirely different family, the Carangidae, rather than the family Scombridae that includes tunas, mackerels, and bonitos.[4]
