Hypotheses-driven framework for the development of the yellowfin tuna second dorsal fin
Understanding the developmental origins of unique traits is critical for effective ocean stewardship. This Perspective outlines a hypotheses-driven framework to investigate the elongated second dorsal fin of adult yellowfin tuna ( *Thunnus albacares*), a distinctive feature within scombrids. Synthesizing existing morphological and genomic data, we propose a stepwise research program to test candidate developmental processes, separating these from alternative explanations related to function or environment.
