tuna canning industry

The tuna canning industry involves the processing and preservation of tuna fish for long-term storage and consumption. Canned tuna is popular due to its convenience, portability, and versatility in recipes. The industry begins with fishing for tuna, followed by immediate processing to maintain freshness. The fish is cooked, canned, and sealed, often with added water or oil, before being sterilized to ensure safety. Major producers are typically located in regions where tuna is abundant. The industry faces challenges like overfishing, sustainability concerns, and competition from other protein sources, driving the need for responsible practices.
