„The vast majority of tuna stocks are healthy and abundant“? I am highly skeptical of that claim. Does anybody have any up-to-date, global numbers?

- sriacha 7y agoAlso skeptical.
- alkonaut 7y agoCanned tuna is usually Skipjack, which is still considered sustainable in most places vs the rate of fishing. Many other species of Tuna are threatened. So it’s hard to talk about “Tuna” as being threatened or not threatened as it varies wildly. The statement “the vast majority of tuna stocks are healthy” I guess could mean anything. Are they healthy because the vast majority that are left now that we fished out a few species are Skipjack? It’s indeed a statement to be skeptical about. You can bend it to be trueish while at the same time saying “the vast majority of tuna species are threatened”. Glass half empty or half full.
