What are the cons of eating canned tuna fish in water?!
(Indeed, there is a chance of mercury toxicity and certain individuals are more succeptable than others...especially preganant women who should not eat ANY. Please visit mercola.com for more information on this. Dr. Mercola has very updated research on this issue).
Answers: It has a high risk of contamination by mercury, and if the company who is marketing the tuna does not have proper safety measures in place, you risk the possibility of contributing to injury to dolphins and other animals.

It doesn't taste nearly as good as tuna packed in oil.
This is the vegetarian section, so I imagine the con is that it's an animal and we don't eat it.
If you don't have a can opener you're S.O L.
Pay no attention to miss mercury poisoning over there, you need to eat a LOT of fish everyday to be affected. If there was enough mercury in a can of tuna to effect someone, we'd all be dead already just from drinking water.
Tuna is a healthy fish, but vegetarians don't eat animal flesh.
I can't really think of any other than mercury which was already mentioned (albacore has more contaminants) and you would have to eat a LOT of it. They're pretty careful about the dolphin thing anymore - people got really concerned about it in the 80s/90s. Tuna is a very healthy fish, full of omega 3s. The tuna in water would be healthier than tuna in oil I would think, but I like the tuna in the pouches myself. My cat will only eat tuna in water - I tried to give her some in oil because the vet said it would help keep down hairballs and she would have none of it.
You'll develop a severe case of halitosis.
The biggest con is that not too long ago it was a non-canned tuna fish in the ocean.
Mercury is the big issue with canned tuna.

If you stay in the water too long your skin will get all wrinkly.
