@danae. for me the most convincing part is the syllable alba in albacore) since it stands for "White" (Latin: Albus,alba,album). what Region are you referring to ? the albacore tuna - in addition to the Mediterranian sea may be found in almost all seas.
Danae Seemann May 5, 2017:
any chance of asking the client?albacore could be right, but bluefish fits the region.
mrrafe May 5, 2017:
bluefin tuna? Danae, this site says γοφός is tunnus thynnus, but it could be wrong. http://www.psaria.eu/2015/07/blog-post_2.html
But tunnus thynnus is bluefin, I'm sure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_bluefin_tuna

Γοφός Try looking for "γοφός" alone. (Hint: it's a type of tuna)

τhe following link confirms, however, that the
μακρυπτερύγος τόνος (επιστημονική ονομασία: Thunnus alalunga) IS identical with the English albacore fish. Αποκαλείται επίσης μακρόπτερος τόνος, τόνος αλμπακόρ, όρκυνος, τονάκι ή απλά τόνος. Ανήκει στην οικογένεια των Σκομβριδών. Απαντάται σε όλες τις τροπικές και εύκρατες θάλασσες, συμπεριλαμβανομένης της Μεσογείου.
