    I am not sure what the cause may be for the luminous colors present in your
    tuna. However, some bacteria can have a luminescence effect when they grow
    on seafood products. The list server had some discussion about this topic
    in the past and Dr. Price wrote about it:

    Dear List

    I would like to have more information (reasons, changes in composition, any
    effect for human consumption) about luminous colors present in some tuna (in

    muscles).

    Many thanks,
