Sustainable Seas Albacore Tuna Sustainable Seas sources tuna caught only by pole and line. There is virtually no by-catch associated with the trolling or pole and line techniques, which are regarded as the best fishing methods for tuna, a fact worth remembering when you buy. Pole and line fishing has been practiced for centuries in several different parts of the world. The method involves attracting a school of tuna to the side of a baitboat by throwing live sardines and anchovies overboard. This creates a tuna feeding frenzy and fish are hauled out of the water, one-by-one, using pole and line with an artificial lure attached. The size of tuna caught this way is almost exclusively younger migratory tuna that are also lower in mercury than the older tuna caught deeper with long-lines.
