TUNNY
Tun"ny, n.; pl. Tunnies. Etym: [L. thunnus, thynnus, Gr. tonno, F. &
Pr. thon.] (Zoöl.)
Definition: Any one of several species of large oceanic fishes belonging to
the Mackerel family, especially the common or great tunny (Orcynus or
Albacora thynnus) native of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic
Ocean. It sometimes weighs a thousand pounds or more, and is
extensively caught in the Mediterranean. On the American coast it is
called horse mackerel. See Illust. of Horse mackerel, under Horse.

and North Atlantic, and the long-finned tunny, or albicore (see
Albicore), are related species of smaller size.
