Some types of Tuna like 'Little Tuny' and 'Bonito' are used as bait. Larger type of Tuna usually kept for either selling or eating. Blue Fin Tuna, I think are the largest type of Tuna are over fished. They are the ones that sell for thousands of US dollars in Japan. When the Blue Fin are smaller, I am sure they get eaten by predatory fish too.
If you like sushi or sashimi, try to avoid eating tuna because it is most likely Blue Fin tuna. The Tuna that one buys in the can is usually Albacore Tuna, which is monitored and not over fished.
Lastly, Tuna is prey to humans.
