They have about 60% of the genome mapped and expect to finish it in the next couple months. The new breed will grow faster, taste good, have resistance to disease and will totally kick your ass if you cross them."

A modify the DNA so that few dozen Sharks Fins appear on the new fish.
Perhaps they could save the real thing from extinction.
Then again the 'Green Lobby' would rise up against 'Genetically Modified Fish' Sigh.

No, what they mean is: Current tuna tastes excellent. Power tuna will merely taste good.

"Natural" tuna have had their genes altered through hundreds of years of breading.
Tuna comes pre-breaded now? Talk about a time saver!

maybe, but what happens if the super tuna out competes and eats all non-super tuna?
Darwin wins. See, tuna made themselves to tasty that:
1) They'd be overfished.
2) We'd see that, and then make them EVEN BETTER and plentiful.
Well done tuna. You've won the genetic lottery.
