Records of wahoo,
Acanthocybium solandri (Scombridae), from California.
are abundant around the oceanic Fernando de Noronha Island (78.6% of total catches), and
Acanthocybium solandri, Coryphaena hippurus and Istiophorus platypterus (85.4%) off Rio Grande do Norte State (Table 6).

Wahoo are the largest non-tuna in the mackerel family, and are the lone species in the genus
Acanthocybium. They grow extremely fast and are able to spawn within two years (males at about 34 inches, females about 40 inches), and a large female can broadcast some 60-million eggs each spawning event.
High connectivity on a global scale in the pelagic wahoo,
Acanthocybium solandri (tuna family Scombridae).
The minimum possible values of 0.0015 < [C.sub.V] < 0.002 correspond to animals with very slender bodies (e.g., narrow-barred Spanish mackerel Scomberomorus commerson, wahoo
Acanthocybium solandri, Mediterranean spearfish Tetrapturus belone, Indo-Pacific sailfish Istiophorus platypterus, and saltwater crocodile Crocodylus porosus) and are located at the subcritical Reynolds number range 6 x [10.sup.6] < [R.sub.V] < [10.sup.7].
This species is caught along with other species traditionally fished in that area, such as Yellowfin tuna (T albacares Bonnaterre, 1788), Wahoo (
Acanthocybium solandri Cuvier, 1832), Rainbow runner (Elagatis bipinnulata Quoy e Gaimard, 1825), and Marginated fly-fish (Cheilopogon cyanopterus Valenciennes, 1846) (Lubbock & Edwards 1981, Oliveira et al.
