British Fish Stocks Decline by 94%

The UK trawl fishing fleet has to work 17 times harder to catch the same amount of fish today as it did when most of its boats were powered by sail, according to new research.

Rankings cut guesswork in sustainable fish farming

A league table of sustainable fishmeal sources will help fish farms be eco-friendly, but questions remain over the environmental impact of aquaculture.

It takes around 6 tonnes of wild fish to reduce to 1 tonne of fishmeal, and then anything from 1.5 to 3 tonnes of meal to produce 1 tonne of farmed salmon. Producing fishmeal and fish oil for fish farming is in itself a waste of tasty fish that could be eaten directly.
