Production process

The production of live southern bluefin tuna involves specialized fishing techniques and handling methods to ensure the fish are transported alive. Fishermen typically use longline or purse seine fishing methods to capture the tuna, which are then carefully transferred to specialized tuna ranching or farming facilities.
