The yellowtail scad, also known as the northern yellowtail scad, is a small marine fish found in the Indo-Pacific from east Africa to Hawaii, Japan, and Australia. It is the sole species in the genus Atule and is recognized by its well-developed adipose eyelid and finlet-like extensions on the dorsal and anal fins. Inhabiting coastal areas like bays and coral reefs, it feeds on small fishes and crustaceans. The species is a vital component of fisheries, valued as a food fish and caught through various methods in its widespread range.
