Tuna are Megafauna

Humans deterministically deplete ingenious populations of megafauna to extinction

The counter to this to date was megafauna herding via property boundary permanence. aka fencing for cattle

So the only solution would be to figure out how to do ocean megafauna herding because reducing consumption is unlikely. Which would require massive scale 3 or 4 dimensional fencing.

Sounds like a technical problem that can be solved if extremely difficult

Also the externalities would be bonkers most likely

Edit: Looks like this is starting to happen for tuna as of last year https://www.sojitz.com/caravan/en/special/tuna/1.html

The solution you are describing is aquaculture aka fish farming. It already exists for many species.

  • Giant Tuna are Megafauna

    That is a whole different kind of problem to farm than having a humdrum sub-mega fauna fish farm

    Problems are more akin to trying to raise farm grown Elephants
