Types of Tuna

Types of Tuna - Tuna is a fish that is composed of several species of the family Scombridae, especially the genus Thunnus. This fish is a good swimmer (ever measured was 77 km / h). Unlike most fish which have white flesh, fish flesh is pink to dark red. This is because tuna muscle contains more myoglobin than other fish.
