Description
Tuna is a big predator and consumes a wide variety of other fish, making it a vital component of the sea ecosystems. It’s also one of the most expensive fish on the planet. Yet tuna is also an affordable and widely-available source of protein around the world, and herein lies the problem.
Can fishing Tuna ever be sustainable? Which guidelines can we follow to buy the Tuna Fish with the least impact? Is Tuna a healthy food? And most of all, can we still eat Tuna?
