The Greed of Feed

Fishy Business: uncovering the truth behind your cheap Christmas salmon...In its latest film the Ecologist Film Unit (EFU) travels to Peru to investigate a host of unreported environmental and social costs - including pollution and health problems, overfishing, and impacts on ecosystems and wildlife - arising from the production of fishmeal and fish oil, principal ingredients in farmed salmon feed.

Hi! I will do my best to get the contact info for you - which biologist are you after? There are a couple in this video. Thanks

What propaganda. This video is over 4 years old, and out-dated.

@EcostormEFU please see my comment poster earlier today. I was wondering if you have any information I was looking for?

Was "The Greed For Feed" made in 2008? I have heard that the conditions of overfishing and conditions of this town have had benefit of $10 mil from the Peruvian government in the last year or so. Does anyone know if this is true? What are the states of these towns now? And does anyone know of the population of the sardines, mackerel and anchovy? I'd like to know if there are any recent studies that prove conditions have changed, or if there are studies that prove they have not.

This is an eye opening documentary! I am from Nuevo Chimbote, a sister city of Chimbote, and I have seen the devastating effects of the fishing/fishery industry in Chimbote.

I hope this video help consumers the world over understand that for a cheap fillet of salmon in our plates, others had to pay a high price.

Hi! This is not a surprise for anyone from chimbote, the sad part is to be a silent witness of this, and worst to grow in the middle of this and feel that is normal, i was born in chimbote, most of my family lives there, but i grew up in Lima, but I love chimbote, despite pollution i can see the carming part, I believe there is a lot of thing to do and I will try to do something for my hometown....... do you have any info to contact the biologist? thanks

Saludos a los realizadores de este reportaje !

soy estudiante de secundaria del mundo mejor en chimbote, y estoy realizando un proyecto de investigacion que tiene como fin dar a conocer las enfermedades ocasionadas por la contaminacion del aire por parte de las fabricas en chimbote, y dar alguna solucion al respecto . . . Para mejorar la calidad de vida en Chimbote.... ! ! ! ! !

No es posible que l alcaldesa de Chimbote, diga que vive cerca de 40 años y no seha enfermado. Por favor, no sean ciegos, miren el caso de satchel padilla, incluso tan contaminado esta el mar que es imposible ir a pescar, todos aman el dinero, pero no se preocupan por la salud. Ahora a donde irán su ambición???....Qué lástima...

PUEDE SER UNA NOTA APARTE, PERO ES NECESARIO SEÑALAR QUE LOS INTERESES DE ESTOS EMPRESARIOS DEPREDADORES Y CAUSANTES DE CONTAMINACIÓN, SON LOS QUE FINANCIAN LAS CAMPAÑAS POLÍTICAS DE QUIENES HAN GOBERNADO LA CIUDAD DE CHIMBOTE EN LOS ÚLTIMOS 40 AÑOS. ES MÁS, LA ACTUAL ALCALDESA DE LA PROVINCIA HA SEÑALADO HACE POCO MÁS DE UNA SEMANA DE QUE ACÁ, EN CHIMBOTE, NO HAY CONTAMINACIÓN ¡es el colmo!. ESPERO QUE ESTE DOCUMENTAL AYUDE A SENSIBILIZAR A LA POBLACIÓN, URGE UN CAMBIO YA!!!!!
