Seafood is gaining in popularity worldwide as people are considering it more and more as a healthy food choice. It has also become increasingly fashionable and popular to try formerly “exotic” seafood such as sushi that is now more widely available than ever before. Less widely known are conservation issues surrounding seafood species. Would you still happily eat that crispy fish fillet if you knew that it came from a species of which the population has been overfished down to 5% of the original pre-exploitation levels, or would you willingly choose fish that are caught by a fishery that kills thousands of endangered albatrosses as bycatch every year? Internationally there has been growing awareness on fisheries related conservation issues. If we want to continue to enjoy the variety and diversity of seafood that we have become accustomed to for decades to come, we need to start making informed choices right now.
