White spots in tuna fillets, often referred to as "gaping" or "white muscle disease," are primarily caused by a combination of environmental factors, nutritional deficiencies, and stress during the fish's life, particularly prior to capture. These spots are usually associated with the breakdown of muscle tissue and can occur in fish that are stressed or improperly handled. Additionally, certain parasitic infections or diseases may also lead to the appearance of white spots. While generally not harmful, these spots can affect the aesthetic quality of the fish.
