The intention behind dolphin-friendly labeling on tuna products is to certify that labeled tuna has not been harvested in a manner that kills or harms dolphins. However, dolphin-friendly labeling has no international certification body, and does not go through an independent auditing process. Labeling is almost always subject to the laws of the country of origin.

Dolphin friendly is defined by the following: - Drift nets are not used. - There are no purse seine sets made on dolphins through an entire fishing trip. - An observer from the National Marine Fishery Service and/or the Inter American Tropical Tuna Commission certifies fishing vessels and trips in the Eastern Tropical Pacific. Fishing methods considered dolphin friendly are long line, pole and line, and the purse seine method in the Eastern Tropical Pacific with certification only. See similar questions...

Many types of seafood contain a minute amount of mercury called "methyl Mercury", including tuna. The mercury levels depend on the size and age of the fish. Generally, the larger older fish are more likely to have higher contaminant levels. Canned white meat or albacore tuna also comes from larger fish. Albacore may have somewhat higher mercury levels than light or chunked tuna which comes from smaller skipjack and yellowfin tuna. See similar questions...
