U.S. wild-caught Pacific skipjack tuna is a smart seafood choice because it is sustainably managed and responsibly harvested under U.S. regulations.
Assumed to be above target population levels in the Eastern Pacific. Near target levels and fishing rate promotes population growth in the Western and Central Pacific.
At recommended levels.
Fishing gear used to catch skipjack tuna rarely contacts the ocean floor so habitat impacts are minimal.
Regulations are in place to minimize bycatch.
There are two stocks of skipjack tuna: the Eastern Pacific stock and the Western and Central Pacific stock. According to the most recent stock assessments:
The Eastern Pacific stock is not overfished and not subject to overfishing (2004 stock assessment). Summary stock assessment information can be found on Stock SMART.
