Angry farmers smash water-melons from a truck as farmers dump some 150 tons of water-melons in a parking lot in front of a supermarket of the French retail chain Auchan on the outskirts of Budapest on Tuesday to protest against low purchase prices. Farmers say the low purchase price offered by the chain does not cover their production costs.

“ 36% of all marine fish caught are used to feed animals, according to a new study on forage fish from the Sea Around Us project at the UBC Fisheries Centre. “Forage fish” were so named because they often wind up as meals for other fish, marine mammals, or birds. Today we catch 30 million tonnes of these small, wild fish and grind them up into fish meal and oil to feed chicken, fish, and pigs.

“ If Jesus can turn two fish into enough to feed five thousand people, now would be a good time to intervene. According to researchers, each American ate nearly a half-pound more seafood last year than the year before. As we reach the end of the Christian season of Lent — the period in which seafood consumption is at its highest — scientists predict that if the trend continues, wild marine fisheries will disappear in the next forty years.

“ Dr Peter Tyedmers, an ecological economist based at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia and a leading expert on fuel use by fishing fleets, says that herring caught using purse seine nets (which catch schools of fish that gather close to the surface) can use as little as 20 litres of fuel per tonne of live fish landed, whereas trawling for prawns can use up to 2,000 litres of fuel per tonne of live fish landed. Canadian fishermen today, he says, now use four times as much fuel per tonne of fish as they did in the 1930s due to reduced stocks. Fish farms don’t automatically equate to lower fuel use either, because of what he calls “feed miles” - the energy needed to produce fish food, much of which is, due to the carnivores that we tend to farm, wild-caught species that are processed into feed.
— Ask Leo, in response to, “With fishermen across Europe protesting about rising fuel costs, what are the fish species that require the most and least amount of fuel to catch?”
