  abstract = {{T}he effectiveness of passive acoustic monitoring ({PAM}) for studying marine biodiversity highly relies on comprehensive libraries of species-specific sounds. {W}hile sound production is well-documented in reef and freshwater fishes, the acoustic behaviour of ecologically and economically vital pelagic species like tunas still remains largely unexplored. {T}his study provides a detailed characterization of sounds produced by the yellowfin tuna ({T}hunnus albacares), a widely distributed species sustaining a global fishery. {A}coustic recordings were conducted in a large concrete tank to minimize acoustic artefacts and ensure species-specific attribution, where 19 juveniles were maintained in captivity during 16 days. {O}ver 6400 sounds were detected and categorized into two distinct types: short sounds (average duration 47 ms) and long sounds (534.4 ms) consisting of trains of pulses, both with a peak frequency of 263.1 +/- 31.3 {H}z. {T}here was a clear diel difference in yellowfin tuna sound production: long sounds were more abundant during the day than at night, whereas short sounds varied more modestly, peaking in the evening and declining overnight, with intermediate levels during the day. {T}his characterization is a critical first step towards using {PAM} for monitoring this tropical tuna species, thereby providing a novel, fisheries-independent method to study its distribution, behaviour and abundance.},
