Ono, commonly known as wahoo, is a close relative of the king mackerel. Unlike true mackerel, ono rarely school, but groups can be found around fish aggregation buoys. Surface catches indicate that Ono associate with banks, pinnacles and flotsam. However, longline catches suggest that this species also distributed widely in the open sea. Ono may grow to more than 100 pounds in round weight, but the usual size of fish caught in Hawaii is 8 to 30 pounds in round weight.
OnoFlesh is white, flaky, and has a finer structure than meat swim fast from other pelagic species. Although ono may make oceanic migrations as far as those of tuna and marlin, it contains less of the strong taste of "blood meat" muscle that is to use the two types of long-distance swimming.
