U.S. wild-caught Pacific yellowfin tuna is a smart seafood choice because it is sustainably managed and responsibly harvested under U.S. regulations.
Above target population levels.
At recommended levels in the western and central Pacific Ocean and in the eastern Pacific Ocean.
Fishing gear used to catch Pacific yellowfin tuna rarely contacts the seafloor so habitat impacts are minimal.
Regulations are in place to minimize bycatch.
There are two stocks of Pacific yellowfin tuna: The Eastern Pacific stock and the Central and Western Pacific stock. According to the most recent stock assessments:
The Eastern Pacific stock is not overfished and not subject to overfishing (2020 stock assessment). Summary stock assessment information can be found on Stock SMART.
The Central and Western Pacific stock is not overfished and is not subject to overfishing (2020 stock assessment). Summary stock assessment information can be found on Stock SMART.
