Ever wonder why cats love tuna? Well apparently a bunch of scientists did too, and they found the answer: the umami flavor (savoriness in English, I guess), is a cat’s most favorite (as opposed to mine, which is definitely sweet).

This is a bigger problem the higher up the foodchain you go, so giving your cat Bluefin is worse (not to mention much more expensive) than the common stuff (albacore or light tuna) that comes in a can. And of course it’s even worse for humans, for the same reason - and we live longer so the heavy metals have more time to accumulate.
