Abstract	In India, fisheries have always been playing a pivotal role in food and nutritional security of people especially in rural areas. It has significantly contributed towards the improvement of the nutritional status of the populations, since fish has proved as an ideal health food, which is within the reach of the common man. Demand for fish and fish related products are increasing day by day in India and reduction in post harvest losses can make a major contribution to satisfying this demand. Efficient utilisation of aquatic products demands proper processing and distribution. Tuna are among the largest and commercially important species of marine fishes. Tuna is an excellent source of protein, omega 3 fatty acid, niacin, selenium and vitamin B12. Because of its high nutritional properties, it can be used to develop value added products. In the present study, an attempt was made to develop tuna noodles using yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) by using extrusion technology.
