End of the line, Pt 2 - Movie -

BIG QUESTION: Why should we humans be concerned about overfishing?

1. What are the "Big Five" fish we eat all the time?


Atlantic Salmon (organic farmed)
Atlantic Halibut (onshore farmed)
Coley or Saithe (NE Arctic)
Dab (otter trawl or seine net)

Pouting or Bib


2. What is a reason for not eating sharks or other deep water fish?


They may also be recovering from previous
over exploitation, species with relatively low resilience to
modern fishing methods, or fish from farming systems
that need to improve some of their practices.
