In 2025, the last full year of PacFIN data, West Coast commercial fishermen landed 187.6 thousand pounds of yellowfin tuna worth $797.7 thousand, averaging $4.25 per pound. Ex-vessel value rose 2% from 2024, while average price per pound fell 8%. Ranked by total catch value, yellowfin tuna is 36th among the 263 species and species groups reported to PacFIN and tracked by Cormorant.
Oregon and Washington landings of yellowfin tuna total less than 1% of ex-vessel value (or are confidential) and are not charted.
Yellowfin tuna is landed only in California, in 3 of the 19 PacFIN port areas, from Los Angeles south to San Diego, with confidential landings as far north as Morro Bay. San Diego led all port areas with 89% of value.
Port areas ranked by ex-vessel value with landed weight and price per pound.
1 port area had only confidential yellowfin tuna data and is excluded from these rankings.
Many 2025 monthly yellowfin tuna landings are confidential; reported landings came in February, April, May, June, August, and October.
