In the early 1900s, the company wasn't known by its familiar fowl moniker and sold other foods in addition to tuna. But fortune shined on them when they became the first food company to can "light tuna." The mildly flavored fish became the company's trademark product, and its owners sought a catchier name for their canned fish. When asked about the flavor of the new light tuna, many customers remarked, "it tastes like chicken," -- so the company began to market the light tuna as "Chicken of the Sea." The ad campaign was so successful that the company eventually renamed itself after their famous slogan.

because at the same time as they first all started making poultry of the sea variety tuna, no longer very many human beings were familiar with eating any canned fish. It became meant to make it more effective enticing. thats my maximum proper guess and that i'm stickin with it!

because tunas are just like chicken, except they live in the waters. They're analogous.

It's just a name brand.
Most of us call tuna "tuna".
