alletteratus), also known locally as Kubrit, is a streamlined and powerful tuna species typically found in the Mediterranean, with an average length of 85 cm. It is identifiable by its dark, worm-like stripes on its back and a metallic sheen. A highly migratory and carnivorous species, it roams both inshore and offshore waters, feeding on small fish, crustaceans, and squid. Seasonality Little Tunny is commonly available in our waters during the summer months. Its spawning season, which takes place from May to September, suggests that the fish likely move closer to coastal areas during this period, making them more accessible to fishermen. How it&#8217;s Caught In Malta, the main fishing methods used to catch Little Tunny include jigs, gill nets, trolling lines, drifting longlines, and trammel nets. It is also a popular target for sport and recreational fishermen who use trolling and jigging methods. Is it Good to Eat? The Little Tunny has firm, meaty flesh with a relatively oily texture and a stronger flavour compared to milder fish. While not as highly prized as Bluefin Tuna, it is a versatile and popular choice in local markets, especially when fresh. Common ways to cook\/prepare: Grilling or pan-searing Quick cooking is recommended due to its firm texture and oil content; avoid overcooking to prevent it from drying out. This fish is often used fresh, particularly when caught recreationally. Food Safety As a medium-to-large pelagic fish, Little Tunny may accumulate mercury and other contaminants. Smaller and younger fish are likely to have lower levels. For frequent consumption, it&#8217;s important to follow local health guidelines. Sustainability &amp; Status Globally, the Little Tunny is listed as a species of &#8220;Least Concern&#8221; by the IUCN, meaning it is not currently considered heavily endangered. However, local pressures from overfishing and certain gear types can affect populations. Because it is caught using a variety of nets and lines that may have bycatch or habitat impacts, sustainable fishery practices and moderate consumption are recommended.
