I don't understand the words "too much" and "tuna" in the same sentence.
And I keep reading about high radiation levels in Pacific tuna.
And nets kill turtles, dolphins and ...
Most of the canned stuff is albacore and skipjack - doesn't even taste the same

I know enough sources that I can usually get bluefin caught today or yesterday on a rod and reel. I used to know a guy who ran a couple of long line boats. I never went out, but he said they didn't catch turtles and dolphins.
Instead of canned: cut into cubes about 1.5 inches to a side, smoke over hickory at about 150 for 30 to 60 minutes. Keeps in the fridge for days and is way better than canned.
"fishing uses a huge net that is hauled by a large factory ship. When a school of tuna is located smaller ships help deploy the giant net from the main ship in a circular pattern around the tuna. Once the tuna are encircled with the net the main ship retrieves the fishing net and a rope named a purse line is pulled in through net rings. This tightens the net, closes the bottom and catches the fish at which point the net is pulled back onto the boat and the tuna fish and bycatch are unloaded. This type of fishing is quite indiscriminate and any other fish surrounding the tuna are also caught and typically thrown overboard as bycatch. Previously this resulted in the deaths of many dolphins as the fisherman used the dolphins to find the tuna then surrounded the tuna school with the purse net. However with the advent of FAD’s (fish aggregation devices) many other species of marine life are now caught in these nets. This includes turtles, sharks, large predator fish and even young tuna that are too small to keep. Tuna purse seine fishing and FAD’s have become a major problem and it is recommended to avoid tuna caught this way as it is generally thought to be a highly unsustainable tuna fishing method."
