Aus Kingfish=Yellowtail?
Is the fish the Ozzies call a Kingfish and sometimes a Yellowtail, the same species as we catch in Baja?

Along the same line of fish ID, is the fish we call a Wahoo the same as a King Mackerel elsewhere?
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

Wahoo are not the same fish.

Both New Zealand kingfish and California yellowtail are Seriola lalandi.

Joe, not quite right......
NZ Yellowtail: Seriola lalandi lalandi
Baja Yellowtail: Seriola lalandi dorsalis
Asian Yellowtail: Seriola lalandi aureovitta
Slight difference.....
The NZ Kingies are more shaped like tunas, and can weigh over 100#
Caught a few 40-65# Kingies on a trip to White Island and the Ranfurly banks a couple years back.
My Fishing Club would not honor my weight receipts because the fish ARE different than Baja/CA yellows, although very minor, the Kingies are truly
Kings
Respectfully yours, Alan from San Diego

The question asked is whether they are the same species. And they are. The differences you show are at the subspecies level.
FYI. Different subspecies belonging to the same species will mate successfully.
I looked at their global distribution and the main populations occur in 3 places: here, aust/newzealand, South Africa. How is a single species stay
pure with so much water in between. Your comment provided the answer. They're speciating, evolving into separate species but it's likely that some
gene mixing is still occurring.

My localSeafood city sells Japanese yellowtail which is usually around 5 pounds and is identical to the west coast version.
