What is Tuna?

It is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, potassium, manganese, zinc, selenium, and vitamins C and B. It is an active and agile predator and among the fastest swimming pelagic fish. It can maintain a higher temperature than that of the surrounding water. It assists in reducing cholesterol in the arteries and maintaining good heart health among individuals. It also aids in maintaining strong bones and preventing injuries, such as fractures. Besides this, it strengthens the immune system and protects it from cancer by fighting free radicals. It also lowers the risk of blood pressure and reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes. As a result, it is widely consumed as fresh-cooked, frozen, and canned food across the globe.  

COVID-19 Impact:

In addition, the imposition of the lockdown has forced restaurants, cafes, hotels, and other food chain suppliers to close their operations, which has decreased the consumption of tuna. The stringent social distancing norms applied by the various governing agencies worldwide have caused a decrease in income earned by the local fishermen. Moreover, the tuna industry has registered volatility in import and export dynamics around the world. Besides this, there has been a rising consumer preference toward consuming healthy and vegan food products due to the fear of the widespread coronavirus. In line with this, governing agencies of various countries have encouraged the production of sustainable tuna. Hence, post-pandemic, the demand for tuna is expected to increase on account of the reopening of lockdown and manufacturing plants of various industries across the globe.
