"Turkish-farmed sea bass and sea bream is being fed on fishmeal exported from three factories in Senegal ... The women who work locally must keep their prices affordable for their customers and say they cannot compete on price with the factories, forcing increasing numbers of them out of work.
The data led us from these factories, via Turkeyโs sea bass and sea bream farms, to Billingsgate fish market in London and the fish counters of supermarkets across the UK. Here, fish grown by farms that have used Senegalese fishmeal are labelled โresponsiblyโ sourced or farmed, based on certification from the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) and other standards bodies."
