1 INTRODUCTION
In Majene district there is a fish auction place or fish marketing place
which has several chart points. At the auction place is a place where
traders gather in the charts to wait for the catch of fish from the
fishermen/sailors to carry out the marketing process in the markets [1].
The fishing boats/boat facilities used by fishermen at the Majene fish
auction are in the form of modern fishing boats/boats for catching fish
at sea, because the boats used are no longer paddled with wood but
already have modern machines for catching fish by boat. According to
observations from seafarers, each boat/ship has eight people in one
fishing vessel/boat [1].
One type of fish resource that has great potential in Majene is a group
of large pelagic fish, including tuna. Tuna is a type of fish that has a
fairly high economic value and even beats various other species. The
tuna fishery business is very lucrative because tuna is the prima donna
fish in the country and abroad. The high world demand for tuna (tends
to be overcapacity) makes the tuna industry more passionate from
year to year. This tuna product, which is liked by all circles, makes the
selling price soar. Indonesia as the largest tuna producing country has
great potential to dominate the international tuna market [1].
According to Nontji [2] in Anonymous [6], Tuna is a fish that has a
torpedo-like shape with a sharp head. The body is smooth, the
pectoral fins are curved, and the caudal fin is forked with a wide slit.
Behind the dorsal and anal fins are additional, small, separate fins.
The dorsal, anal, abdominal, and pectoral fins, at the base, have
curves on the body. The fins can be folded into the groove, so as to
reduce the friction in the water when the fish is swimming at full speed.
The purpose of this study was to find out how to process and
marketing tuna fish in Pangali Ali Village, Banggae District, Majene
Regency. According to Saanin [3] and FAO (2011) in Romdlona, A
(2014), stated that the classification of tuna is included in the Phylum
Chordata, Subphylum Vertebrata, Class Teleostei, Subclass
Actinopterygii, Order Perciformes, Suborder Scombridae, Family
Scombridae, Genus thunnus Species Thunnus Sp.
