Gutters are known to have a total length of up to 110 cm and a mass of up to 110 kg (240 lb). The main color is silver, with dark markings on the dorsal and caudal fins and a row of black spots on either side of the lateral line.
The scales are needle-like and embedded in hard skin. The breast scales are pointed and embedded in the middle of the body under the lateral line but do not have scales like other species of tuna or skipjack.
This species ranges eastward from the Red Sea and eastern Africa to Hawaii, the Marquesas, and the Tuamotu Islands.
It is found north to southern Japan and as far south as New South Wales and Rapa Iti. It occupies relatively clear waters from the surface to about 100 m (330 ft)
