Farm raising tuna is difficult. Not sure if it is done commercially yet and, even if successful, I would guess wild caught tuna will still be highly prized in Japan. It is really the Japanese market that is and will keep driving the high end of the fish market.

It's a little more complicated than just 'farmed vs wild-caught', as a lot of tuna is wild-caught, then transferred to floating pens to fatten up for up to a year. Penned tuna are neither truly wild, nor considered farmed as there is no breeding stock.
