Electrofishing abomination

The seafood industry is masterful at innovation, especially where they can hone their indiscriminate mass-catching practices.
Not content just to trawl, in Europe, thus far, they’ve developed a more efficient method using electricity.

Pulse fishing. Electrofishing.

These are some of the labels used for it.
This way they can save fuel not having to lug around those pesky heavy chains and otter boards that they usually drag across the seafloor…

Electrocuting everything in its path.
Fish exploding and breaking their own backs from the shock. The shock and pain must be unimaginable.
Turning the seabed into a graveyard.
All species. Young and old. Juveniles that won’t survive to breed.
And you can bet that there’s some kind of greenwashing going on that will sell this method to the consumer as being ‘ethical’ and ‘sustainable’.
Disgusting.
Always ask questions of your fishmonger who caught it and how it was caught.

Every time you spend money, you’re casting a vote. Also, remember an election is coming and your vote matters there too.
Please be a #consciousconsumer
If your fish was mass-caught, it’s not ethical or sustainable.
