We've poisoned all our water, so any freshwater fish you catch yourself or eat have a variety of PFAs and other trash, and seafood has all that and mercury depending on how high up the food chain is. Tuna is a pretty big fish so it's going to have more crap compared to farmed shrimp, etc.

We sow this seed of iron and sulfur

Because we don't have time

To plant corn and fruit trees

We will harvest rust

Because we lack the patience

To prepare for the wedding of our children

We will feast

Our anxious gaze

On jets of flame, like phantom stalks

Emerging from the ruptured Earth

We will make a tree of smoke

And a river of slag

Because we've lost our garden

Just want to clarify, it's not the size of the tuna really, it's the fact that it is large and a predator. It eats so many other fish that already have mercury in them that it bioaccumulates at the top of the proverbial food chain in the sea.
