How to catch Yellowfin Tuna

Use the Fishing Rod. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.

1. Cast the Fishing Rod into the right water: rivers and lakes for freshwater fish, coastal waters for saltwater fish.
2. Wait for the nibbles, then strike when the line bites down.
3. Higher-quality saltwater fish need a slow reel-in. Keep the line from snapping instead of holding the button down.

Where and when to find it

The yellowfin tuna has a diverse diet that includes fish, crustaceans, and cephalopods.

Research teams analyzing their fatty acid composition discovered that the larger a yellowfin tuna's "spear" is, the greater the tendency for them to switch to other fish as primary prey.

This change is believed to be a way of avoiding competition with their young over food, or explained as their way of "caring" for the juveniles.
