Please define sustainable
The Alaskan pollock shows that marine conservation is steaming straight ahead like the unsinkable Titanic. Pollock were ignored as a valuable catch whilst cod and haddock were abundant so stocks remained extremely healthy, cod and haddock dissappear and they turn to pollock as the sustainable alternative to keep the world in fish fingers. So now pollock are on the verge of collapse, no surprise there. What is totally surprising is the fact that millions of tonnes of pollock can be sold as a sustainable alternative and people believed it.On Most ubiquitous fish in American diet 50 percent below last year's levels posted 1 year, 1 month ago 3 Responses
