Evaluating the Lipid Quality of Yellowfin Tuna (<i>Thunnus albacares</i>) Harvested from Different Oceans by Their Fatty Acid Signatures

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the fishing location on yellowfin tuna’s (YFT; <i>Thunnus albacares</i>) white muscle total lipid (TL) content and fatty acid profile. The comparison included 45 YFT loins, equally divided between the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oce...
