Health DetailsMore about seafood and health » |
Eco DetailsAlso called ahi, this highly migratory fish is found throughout the world's oceans, where it is caught with a variety of fishing gear. Look for fish caught by trolling or pole-and-line gear (especially from the U.S. Atlantic), as they result in almost no bycatch. Most yellowfin is caught with longlines, which often also catch threatened sea turtles, seabirds and sharks. |
