Tonight on Channel 4 (broadcast 11th, 12th, 13th January 2011), as part of Channel 4's Big Fish Fight
what I find is not just bad . . . it's mad!
"Around half of the fish caught by fishermen in the North Sea are unnecessarily thrown back into the ocean dead.
The problem is that in a mixed fishery where many different fish live together, fishermen cannot control the species that they catch.
Fishing for one species often means catching another, and if people don’t want them or fishermen are not allowed to land them, the only option is to throw them overboard. The vast majority of these discarded fish will die."

...fishonline website can help you identify which fish are from well managed sources and/or caught using methods that minimise damage to marine wildlife and habitats.
