Genus Sarda, also known as Sarda, is a group of fish species belonging to the family Scombridae. These fish are commonly referred to as the bonitos, due to their similar appearance to the true bonitos of the genus Sarda. Other synonyms for Genus Sarda include the mackerel tuna and the false bonito. The term false bonito is used due to the similarity in appearance to the true bonitos, but with subtle differences in their physical characteristics and features. The mackerel tuna name references the close relationship these fish share with other mackerel species, despite being part of a different genus. Regardless of the name, these fish provide a significant source of food and are commonly targeted by commercial and recreational anglers.
