I don't wish to come across as obsessed by fish, but lately I've had tuna on the brain.
After tuna became, officially, dolphin friendly, I thought my ethical woes were over. There was that pesky concern over high levels of mercury found in oily fish, of course, but since I only ate it once a week, I decided the benefits would outstrip the chemical poisoning. You know, hopefully.
Now, however, I find that 'tuna ranching' is adding to the over-fishing crisis. Imagine, if you will, net fishing which catches all tuna - from the smallest upwards, and keeps them confined in cages, to fatten up ready for hauling out of the sea and onto our waiting plates. It's happening all along the Mediterranean coast.
It ain't as straightforward (or as poster-friendly) as 'save the dolphins', but it's a report worth reading. [Via Greenpeace]
Why not just give up eating all fish (and meat) altogether?
