Fish Dish – exposing the unacceptable face of seafood 1.22 MB pdf

We have chosen six seafood dishes eaten in Europe – cod and chips, tuna, sushi, plaice fillet, swordfish steak, langoustine linguine, and seafood paella — and exposed the major problems behind them, namely:

Overfishing ( taking more fish than the population can replenish)
Illegal fishing ( over-quota, unlicensed, unreported, and/or unregulated fishing)
Wasteful fishing ( discarding huge numbers of unwanted fish, including juvenile fish)
Unselective fishing ( bycatch of non-target species)
Destructive fishing ( the use of fishing gear that damages marine habitats)
Unfair fishing ( in the waters of developing countries).
