15 Oct 2019 --- A new report by Dutch-based Changing Markets Foundation has found links between top Dutch supermarkets and illegal, unsustainable fishing practices in India, Vietnam and The Gambia, which supply feed ingredients for farmed seafood products in high-income markets. The report, Fishing for Catastrophe, is the first to comprehensively map fishmeal and fish oil (FMFO) supply chains from fishery to fork. It concluded that supermarkets, including Albert Heijn, Lidl and Plus which sell farmed prawns, are causing fish stocks to collapse in some of the world’s most impoverished communities, due to the aquaculture industry’s reliance on FMFO for fish feed.
