Yellowfin Tuna is a shallow and medium depth fish in Dave the Diver.
The tuna fish (and all its variants) doesn't become available until the Tuna Party is given via the Mail app (sometime after the Jellyfish Party). Cobra will then give the player access to the Salvage Drone, which is really helpful for transporting large fish, like tuna.
All tuna are large and extremely fast swimmers and are found in groups of about five. You'll typically know when you're near a group by a plunging water sound when near them.
On top of being swift, they will do moderate damage to the player if hit by them as, while they won't actively try to hurt the player, they won't try to avoid them either. The best way to catch them is to use the steel net traps Cobra will randomly sell in his shop, sensor bombs to try and do enough damage, or, with luck, use sleep-based weapons (like a tranquilizer rifle or the Sleepy Toy Hammer) to try and put one to sleep and quickly launch the drone to pick it up. If a drone isn't available, one can still harvest a dead tuna fish for two pieces of meat each.
Captured alive with the drone, the tuna will produce akami, ootoro, and chutoro meat from the same fish. If harvested from a dead tuna, you'll only get a piece of akami and chutoro.
