	The Oceana Brands division is engaged mainly in fishing for inshore pelagic species (pilchard and anchovy) and in the production, marketing and distribution of fishmeal and branded canned fish products, particularly pilchards under the Lucky Star label in southern Africa. Oceana Brands also produces quality pet food under the Lucky Pet label.



		Species: Skipjack Origin: Temperate marine waters throughout the world Tuna is a member of the scombridae family. It is probably the most popular fish used for canning today and is prized for its distinctively rich-flavored flesh that is moderate to high in fat, firmly textured, flaky and tender. Found in all oceans around the world with the exception of the polar seas, tuna inhabits the upper and middle layers of ocean waters to a depth of 1,600 feet or more (500 metres), depending on size and species. Tuna roam long distances and are agile predators, often feeding on smaller, particularly schooling, fishes.

Oceana Brands' canned tuna is labelled under the Lucky Star brand. It is available in convenient 170g ring pull cans, in vegetable oil and in water, with salt added. Packaging is in 24 x 170g cans in outer cartons.

Canned Tuna affords consumers a high quality, healthy, tasty and value for money offering. In a canned fish sector, which is categorised by generally poor and variable quality product, Lucky Star brings the premium quality standard at an economical and consistently affordable price.

Lucky Star is endorsed by the Heart Foundation, making it the only brand of tuna qualified to bear the Heart Mark on its label. This means that the salt, poly-unsaturated fat and Omega-3 fatty acid levels are perfect in both the oil and brine variants.
