Outnumbered

Recommended Posts

the full sory can be read here http://www.notgoodenough.org/index.php?pag...49ed100d37#fish

it's about a guide showing which fish you should or souldnt buy from fish vendors due to wether they are overfished or not.

i was surprised by a couple, dont buy Silver trevally, but its ok to pig out on yellowfin tuna????

below is a small part of the story

Bad choice

Blue warehou* (Snotty trevalla, black trevally, sea bream)

Eastern gemfish* (Hake, king couta, silver kingfish)

Redfish* (Nannygai, red snapper)

Southern bluefin tuna* (Tuna)

Bigeye tuna* (Indian Ocean Tuna)

School shark* (Flake, snapper shark, tope are all overfished)

Silver trevally* (Silver bream, white trevally)

Orange roughy* (Deep sea perch, sea perch)

Swordfish (caught on longlines, which also drown birds, mammals and turtles)

Atlantic salmon (AMCS does not recommend because the fish can escape from their pens into the wild, and are also fed large amounts of wild-caught fish)

Rainbow trout (an introduced fish which may threaten native species)

* species identified by the Bureau of Rural Sciences as Overfished

Better Choice

Blue Grenadier (Hoki)

Barramundi

Blue-eye Trevalla (Blue-eye cod, Big eye, Deep sea trevalla)

Bream

Yellowfin tuna

Flathead

King George whiting (spotted whiting, SA whiting ­ but avoid WA-caught fish, as the fishery is closed)

Whiting (school, sand, trumpeter, yellowfin)

Mackerel

Mullet (bluetail, fantail, flicker, yellow eye)

Ling (pink ling, rock ling)

Snapper (red bream, cockney, squire)

Tailor (bluefish, skipjack)

Coral trout (various species)
