Ethical Ocean Stewardship

Artisanal Coastal Fleets.
Zero Industrial Destruction.

The waters of the Horn of Africa harbor some of the world's most resilient pelagic tuna populations. While mega-trawlers in other oceans have depleted stocks, Somali waters have been preserved through generations of selective artisanal line fishing.

Every Tunasom tuna is landed by skilled Somali coastal fishermen using hand-operated lines and single hooks. By completely rejecting driftnets and industrial bottom trawling, our operations guarantee **zero dolphin bycatch**, protect coral reefs, and provide equitable, high-value employment directly to local coastal communities.

Vessel Slurry Chilling

Immediately upon landing, fish are immersed in fresh seawater ice slurry, suppressing histamine enzyme formation from minute one.

Direct Port Consolidation

Consolidated at modern pier facilities in Mogadishu, Berbera, and Kismayo for container stuffing with zero land-transit delays.

Oceanographic Super-Highway

The Great Somali Current Upwelling

Twice each year, the Southwest Monsoon propels deep, icy, nutrient-saturated water from the abyss up to the sunlit Somali continental shelf—triggering an unparalleled marine biological explosion.

Northern Basin High Biomass Upwelling

Ras Hafun & Guardafui Shelf

Where the Gulf of Aden converges with the open Indian Ocean. Strong seasonal currents concentrate massive schools of baitfish, feeding large adult Yellowfin tuna with exceptional muscle density.

• Primary Catch: Wild Yellowfin (Thunnus albacares)

• Peak Season: October to April

• Direct Gateway: Port of Berbera & Bosaso

Primary Cannery Hub

Central Corridor Deep Continental Drop-Off

Mogadishu Oceanic Trench

A narrow continental shelf dropping directly to 3,000 meters just 12 nautical miles offshore. Tuna migrate right along the shoreline, allowing local boats to return to port within hours of catch.

• Primary Catch: Skipjack & Bigeye Tuna

• Peak Season: Year-Round Availability

• Direct Gateway: Mogadishu Port Commercial Zone

Southern Archipelago Pristine Island Waters

Kismayo & Bajuni Waters

Sheltered coral archipelago meeting deep oceanic trenches. Pristine, clear waters producing tender, mild-flavored Skipjack and Albacore prized for export canning.

• Primary Catch: Skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis)

• Peak Season: November to May

• Direct Gateway: Port of Kismayo Terminal

Rigorous Food Safety Standards

Certified Cleanrooms &
Laboratory Analytics.

Exporting seafood to demanding markets across the European Union, the GCC, Japan, and North America demands flawless chemical and microbiological traceability.

Every production batch processed by Tunasom is analyzed in European-calibrated laboratories. We test every single retort cycle for hermetic seal integrity, seam thickness, histamine degradation, and heavy metal concentrations.

Fluorometric Histamine Testing: Guaranteed below 15 ppm (far stricter than standard 50 ppm international thresholds).

Heavy Metal & Mercury Testing: Verified below 0.5 mg/kg with batch Certificate of Analysis (COA) issued per container.

Complete Halal & Sanitary Documentation: Government veterinary health certificates and Halal slaughter certification provided with every bill of lading.

Pristine stainless steel seafood processing and packaging facility

Retort Autoclave Sterilization Fo Value ≥ 12
