Catching and farming

Mori Tuna are handled with the highest care and respect with as little handling as possible, reducing the stress in the fish, allowing our customers to get the most value from the flesh.

Caught in the Great Australian Bight before being very slowly towed back to the pristine waters of Port Lincoln, Mori Tuna are then farmed in large sea cages where they are fed their natural diet to enhance their taste and value.

Harvesting

Mori Tuna are harvested using the Japanese iki jime method, the most humane and respectful way to kill the fish, which also preserves the quality. Mori Seafood’s processing facility is ideally located at the water’s edge where the harvest vessels berth. Mori Tuna are harvested, processed and dispatched on the same day.

Processing

Mori Tuna are handled with ‘best practice’ care and respect in Mori Seafoods very strict hygienic export processing rooms. Products produced range from whole fish to smaller user friendly vacuum ‘chef packs’ packed for convenience

and ready for use. These chef pack portions have minimal exposure to oxygen with specially designed packaging maintaining freshness for longer lasting value and shelf life.

Sustainability

Mori Tuna is certified sustainable with Friend of the Sea. Australia has the most sustainably managed Southern Bluefin Tuna species in the world. The commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT) determines the Southern Bluefin Tuna quota globally. In Australia these quotas are further monitored by the Australian Fisheries Management Authority.
