Abstract
Aim: In this study, the antioxidant properties of hydrolyzed protein from longtail tuna dark muscle with commercial enzymes (alcalase, alkaline protease, and evatase) were investigated.
Materials & Methods: Protein hydrolysates from tuna dark muscle were prepared by different enzymes Degree of hydrolysis (DH) was performed by TCA technique. The five aliquots at 60, 180, 240, 300, and 360 min were gathered during hydrolysis. The antioxidant activity of aliquots was monitored by in vitro assays (DPPH inhibition ability and Ferric (Fe3+) reducing power).
Findings: The antioxidant activities of protein hydrolysate from tuna dark muscle (TDM) increase with increasing time and DH. Alcalase hydrolyzed protein (AHP) generally showed higher antioxidative activity than evatase hydrolyzed protein (EHP) and alkaline protease hydrolyzed protein (APHP). Among the samples (concentration 3 mg.ml-1), AHP at 360 min significantly exhibited the highest ability to scavenge DPPH radical (72.6 %). Furthermore, AHP and APHP significantly showed a minimum IC50 value of 1.1 mg.ml-1 at 240 and 360 min hydrolysis. APHP significantly exhibited the highest ferric reducing power of 0.83 at 300 min and 0.76 at 240 min. AHP and APHP significantly showed the highest ferric reducing power of 0.74 at 360 min (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: This study confirmed that protein hydrolysate from TDM could be a good source of antioxidant peptides. In addition, the antioxidant activity of hydrolyzed protein relay on protease type and hydrolysis condition.

Abstract
Tuna fishes are one of the most important and commericial tuna species in Northern of the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea. The tuna fish stocks Thunnus tonggol was assessed in Hormuzgan coastal waters using software FiSAT . Data were collected minimum 200 fish per month simple randomly from five major traditional fish-landing sites in Hormuzgan Province, from November 2021 to September 2023. The monthly individuals ranging of T. tonggol from 21 - 108 cm fork length with mean 71.08 ± 1.23 cm.The infinity length and growth parameters (K, L∞) for T. tonggol, were computed 121.17 cm and 0.68 respectively. Growth performance index (Phi Monreo) calculated for T. tonggol , 8.9 which was in agreement with the finding of the other studies in the Indian Ocean. The results showed that this species has a high growth rate in the first 2 years of their life. The (a, b) parameters in power equation length-weight relationship for T. tonggol were (0.00002, 2.94), indicating that T. tonggol has isometric growth. Total mortality, natural mortality, fishing mortality rate and exploitation ratio (Z, M, F, E) were estimated for T. tonggol (2.89, 0.71, 2.18, 0.75). These results indicated that population of T. tonggol is overexploited and no scope for improving production in Hormuzgan Province. Tuna fish stock are trans boundaries and its fishery management and long term monitoring programs would be conducted in collaboration countries bordering the Persian Gulf, Oman Sea and Indian Ocean
