Yellowfin tuna are caught in subtropical regions worldwide, but most of our selectively sourced product comes out of Hawaii and Fiji due to global sustainability concerns with this species. Under US regulations, wild-caught Pacific Yellowfin tuna is sustainably managed and responsibly harvested; however, the management of the Yellowfin fishery in the Western Pacific and Pacific Islands, by NOAA and the Pacific Fishery Management Council, is complicated because of the highly migratory behavior of the species in addition to the level of international cooperation needed to achieve its sustainability.
