Maybe. It depends on where you live.

There are several species of fish sometimes called "bonito." One of these is the skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis). In Spain, Thunnis alalunga (Albacore tuna) is sometimes called "Bonito del Norte".

However, the "true" bonito are members of the genus Sarda.

Some countries allow bonito to be marketed as tuna and some do not. Tuna and bonito are closely related to each other (and to mackerels), all belonging to the family Scombridae.
