In 2020, 90.3 million tonnes of fishes were caught worldwide. The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) does not count the individual animals, but according to projections by fishcount.org.uk from 2019, this is likely to be up to 2.3 trillion individuals.
fair‑fish would like the fishing industry to address the suffering of individual fishes and minimise it as far as possible. Among other things, this should mean that fishes are only in the fishing gear for a short time and are immediately stunned and killed when out of the water. There are now a number of people and institutions in research and industry that are testing new ideas.
We are part of the Carefish/catch project, in which fair‑fish and four other partners are analysing fishing methods in order to propose improvements in industry and policy.
