The environmental issues outlined here can have indirect impacts as well. The fish vulnerable to overfishing include certain stocks of popular species such as cod and tuna and long-lived, slow-to-mature species such as sharks and deep-sea fish. Improved technology, increasing demand and poor management mean that fish populations can come under very heavy fishing pressure and become depleted, or even collapse completely. The fishing and aquaculture industries are incredibly diverse, and the environmental issues highlighted here are not a problem in every fishery or fish farm‚ but all do occur as a result of some seafood produced for the UK market.
The environmental impacts associated with catching and farming fish commercially affect the health of our oceans, fisheries, communities and economies around the world.
