A tropical fish that lends itself to artificial cultivation and is even an object of primary importance for aquaculture in many countries with a suitable mild climate. Regarding the quality of the meat, there are different opinions, but it is a fact that its price on the market is acceptable for the wider masses, who would not be able to afford fish of a higher rank.
Tuna should also be approached with caution, notes the expert. The longer he lives, the more mercury he accumulates, the nutritionist explained.
