Fish stocks are down all over the world with some species such as the bluefin tuna now considered to be as endangered as the white rhino and even the British favourite cod in danger of overfishing. The survey comes as a new film by former Daily Telegraph journalist Charles Clover reveals the threat of over fishing to the oceans. End of the Line, to be released in cimemas on 8th June, claims that seafood will be fished out by 2048 unless more is done to conserve stocks.
However 70 per cent of consumers said they were more likely to make ethical choices when given the facts.
“The booming human population could wipe out fish stocks within this century if we don’t act now. This is an environmental disaster and we it will have a real and tangible impact on us all – as consumers, retailers, chef or fishermen.”
