I. Introduction
Yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares), like all varieties of tuna, is a highly valued saltwater fish, renowned for its exceptional nutritional value and health benefits [1]. As a result of its nutritional composition, tuna is enjoyed globally in various forms, including fresh, frozen, and canned products [2]. Additionally, tuna holds a prominent position in the seafood market, being part of the high-value seafood groups such as cephalopods, shrimps, and lobsters [3]. The tuna industry plays a pivotal role in the economy, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, where it employs over 6 million people, contributing significantly to regional economies and livelihoods [4]. Despite the slight decline in catches due to the COVID-19 pandemic, restrictions on fresh tuna exports and the sashimi market, the demand for tuna remains strong.
