A new paper highlights a critical gap in the global aquaculture supply chain: while fishmeal and fish oil are essential ingredients in commercial aquafeeds, there is limited publicly available information that pinpoints where these inputs are produced. globalseafood.org/advocate/globa…

This highly destructive fishing technique pulverizes sea life in their path. These vessels also fish on seamounts and in deep-sea canyons, ravaging biologically rich and diverse ecosystems, crushing corals, sponges, marine life and habitats. 🛑This needs to stop #ProtectSeamounts
