Americans really, really love canned tuna fish. According to the National Fisheries Institute, Americans consumed more than 700 million pounds of canned tuna in 2015. In January, Hy-Vee announced a new canned tuna policy, citing concerns over high levels of bycatch in fisheries that use fish-aggregating devices (FADS) the chain decided to switch policies. "There's a huge issue of bycatch with those," Ryan Bigelow, the program engagement manager with Seafood Watch, said of the way the tuna is often caught. But the brand still supplies its tuna cans with fish caught in traditional fishing methods.
