He originally placed it in the [[mackerel]] [[genus]] ''[[Scomber]]''. It was assigned to the genus ''Thunnus'' by ichthyologists Bruce B. Collette and Cornelia E. Nauen in 1983.<ref name=fishbase>{{FishBase | genus = Thunnus | species = alalunga | month = January | year = 2017}}</ref> It is a member of the ''[[Thunnus (subgenus)|Thunnus]]'' subgenus, also known as the bluefin group.
