Tuna contains Omega - 3, but it also can contain a great deal of Mercury. Tuna in oil is higher in calories, but has a distinctive flavor that adds substance to whatever you use it in.

Yes it does have omega 3 but so does the tuna in brine or springwater. Tuna is a fish known for its omega 3 so it doesnt matter what tinned tuna you eat, it just a matter of personal taste. I preferred the spring water one because of my weight issues. You do need to be careful of where it comes from and only buy a reputable brand that is dolphin free.I dont know much about mercury levels OS but here in Australia it is carefully tested first. Hope this helps.
