To some comments, there is no such thing as sustainable fish ? Yes, there is, and its not grown on a farm. Wild caught fish are sustainable where quotas and limits are set, like the east coast of the USA. Someone mentioned buy locally, well done, the most common sense ive read. Many foreign countries have no laws, limits, quotas, etc. making their harvest unsustainable. !

I'm curious as to why people believe that Fish companies are interested in seeing the extinction of a species. Sure they can hoard supplies and make a one time profit, but sustainable long term profit is more beneficial in economic terms. The laws of supply and demand will ultimately be able to solve this issue and the only thing that will hinder it is a lack of education. Inform yourself, purchase wisely, and expect the price of fish to skyrocket soon.

Une étude approfondie sur la part, je dis le répète, sur la part du marché.

There is no such thing as "sustainable fish". You always have to put in several times the amount of other fish or food to get a certain amount of fish. Its the same as factory farming. What a waste! We have only one planet and are going to loose it if we do not act fast.

True fishfarms feed their fish with fish from the wild, fishfarms use medication that pollutes the sea around it.

If you have fishfarms inside fish are up and over each other in small tanks and suffer enormous amounts of stress. Not healthy for them and not for you to eat those stress hormones.

Plant eating fish like Tilapia get put on ice and keep on living while being sliced it is a terrible practice and for saving the planet we need to go veg!

There is no such thing as "sustainable fish". You always have to put in 10 times the amount of food to get a certain amount of fish or meat. What a waste! We only have one planet and are going to loose it if we do not act fast.

Fcuk this. People have to stop eating fish. Your little plan will not work unless you also tell people to drastically reduce the amount of fish they eat, period.

[MacgyverWannabe]

The problem is not that fact that people are eating fish, it's how it's being caught and distributed.

Fishing was never a problem in the past becouse as we have developed technilogiclly, we have been able to vastily improve the quantity that we are able to catch, so intsead of a few fishermen going out and netting enough to bring back for the town market, we have large trolllers going out and catching hundres of tons of fish so they can distribute it throughout the world.

[MacgyverWannabe]

To say that we need to stop eating fish, period, is a bit absurd, what about all the coastal towns that rely on fish as a means of not only eating, but as a source of living for hundreds of thousands of people just like you and me, who are just trying to get by.

Your probably thinking that they could change jobs, right, well that is a possibillity, but take into consideration the economicle times, to look for another job when they already have good one's just won't work.

[MacgyverWannabe]

Now, this is just my personal opinion, but I think we need to first: establish efficiant and eco friendly fish farms that are actually effective in their production of fish.

Second: we need to start minamilizing the scale of our fishing operations, and localize them, that way there is more jobs, but less fish being caught.

Third: we need to convince people to start buying locally, all the changes that have been applied in the privious point will be useless, unless you convince the masses.

[MacgyverWannabe]

If we as a society were to do these things, not only with the fish industry, but the beef, poultry, pork, and alchohol industries, Then I think we can finnally make a differance.

This is only my opinion, I didn't mean to insult you or anything mate, I just think that these problems just can't be solved just by simply not eating fish/meat.

This film seems very sad and scary. I definitely need to see it.
