The comparison included 45 YFT loins, equally divided between the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans. The ocean had no significant influence on YFT TL content, total PUFA and total n-3 PUFA (p &gt; 0.05), averaging 1.09 g\/100 g of muscle, 229.2 and 192.8 mg\/100 g of muscle, respectively. On the other hand, the YFT harvested on the Indian Ocean displayed significantly higher contents of both SFA and MUFA totals than the Atlantic Ocean counterparts (p &lt; 0.05), while the YFT harvested in the Pacific Ocean presented intermediate values, not differing significantly from the other two origins. The YFT from the Indian and Pacific oceans held twice the n-6 PUFA content recorded in the Atlantic YFT (44.1 versus 21.1 mg\/100 g of muscle). Considering the recommended daily intake of EPA plus DHA is 250 mg, the consumption of 100 g of YFT from the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans would provide 149.2 mg, 191.8 mg or 229.6 mg of EPA plus DHA, representing 59.7%, 76.7% or 91.8% of the recommended daily intake, respectively.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods10112816","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,16]],"date-time":"2021-11-16T11:32:03Z","timestamp":1637062323000},"page":"2816","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Evaluating the Lipid Quality of Yellowfin Tuna (Thunnus albacares) Harvested from Different Oceans by Their Fatty Acid Signatures"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3472-849X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Valentina F.","family":"Domingues","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"REQUIMTE\/LAQV-GRAQ, Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto, Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico do Porto, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"M\u00e1rio","family":"Quaresma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Animal Health (CIISA), Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Lisbon University, P\u00f3lo Universit\u00e1rio Alto da Ajuda, 1300-477 Lisboa, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8291-1160","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sara","family":"Sousa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"REQUIMTE\/LAQV-GRAQ, Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto, Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico do Porto, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"M\u00f3nica","family":"Rosas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"REQUIMTE\/LAQV-GRAQ, Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto, Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico do Porto, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Breixo","family":"Ventoso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PhD Student of Health Science Program (UCAM), Universidad Cat\u00f3lica San Antonio de Murcia, Campus de los Jer\u00f3nimos, Guadalupe, 30107 Murcia, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4393-2150","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Leonor","family":"Nunes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CIIMAR, Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine and Environmental Research, University of Porto, Terminal de Cruzeiros do Porto de Leix\u00f5es, Av.
