Fresh frigate tuna were gutted and cleaned before the addition of salt at different salt-fish and fermented at ambient temperature. The LAB viable count increased, and the pH levels decreased with increasing per cent titratable acidity.

Additionally, the LABs in F2 (1:5) indicates its usefulness as a viable source of LAB for applications in other fermented products as starters for improved product quality. These results make tinabal a possible functional food product that could benefit consumers.
