Mamuaja2 1Fisheries Product Technology, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Sam Ratulangi University, Manado, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. 2Departmentof Agricultural Technology, Faculty of Agriculture, Sam Ratulangi University, Manado, North Sulawesi, Indonesia Abstract: This study was aimed to analyze the physico-chemical characteristics and fatty acid profiles of the skipjack tuna smoked using smoking material of coconut skin under traditional smoking technique of three producers (A, B, and C), in Bitung Municipality, North Sulawesi. The skipjack tuna smoked produced by Producer A contained the lowest water content andaw, and the highest protein, fat, and ash contentand no significant difference (P<0.05) from those of Producer B and C.The fatty acid profile of the smoked skipjack of Producer Ashowed the lowest total saturated fatty acid (SFA) and the highestmonounsaturated fatty acid (MUFAandpolyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and it was significantly different (P<005) from Producer B and Producer C. Keywords : skipjack tuna, smoking, fatty acid profile, coconut skin. Introduction Fish smoking is one of the oldest fish processing technology traditionally done for many years. Smoking can be defined as volatile compound penetration process into the fish meat generated from wood burning which is known to be able to produce specific taste and aroma. Some phenolic contetn, formaldehyde, and other compoundsabsorbed in the flesh derived from smokes act as preservatives to prolong the storage duration of the end product and give peculiar good flavor with typical aroma produced by the smoking processs3.

SKIPJACK TUNA (Katsuwonus Pelamis) Region: Indian Ocean IOTC Status 2014: Not Subject to Overfishing[1]
© WETJENS DIMMLICH / W WF SFI WF FACTSHEET APRIL 2015 Smart Fishing Initiative (SFI): species overview SKIPJACK TUNA (Katsuwonus pelamis) Region: Indian Ocean IOTC status 2014: not subject to overfishing[1] Accounting for nearly half of global tuna production[4], Katsuwonus pelamis (skipjack tuna) are the most abundant and fast-growing of the commercial tuna species, common in tropical waters throughout the world where it inhabits surface waters in large shoals[1]. Caught mainly using purse seine nets, gill nets or bait boats, over 90% of skipjack catches are destined for canning[4]. Though current catch data is not available, 2012 numbers provided by the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) indicated that skipjack stocks are not currently overfished in the Indian Ocean[1]. IMAGE SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA[2] Appearance & size The back and lateral line of skipjack are a dark, almost purplish blue, while their lower sides and belly are silver with 4 to 6 dark longitudinal lines (may appear as dark blotches in live fish). The fusiform body is elongated, rounded and scaleless except for the corselet and lateral line. Skipjack are typified by two dorsal fins separated by a short interspace (the first with 14-16 spines, the second followed by 7-9 finlets), anal fins followed by 7-9 finlets, and a strong keel on each side of the caudal fin base between two smaller keels[3]. Rapid-growing, individual skipjack with a fork length of 80 cm and a weight of 8-10 kg are common, while maximum fork length is 110 cm and weight is 35.5 kg[1].
