       We generally think that over-fishing is about fish that humans eat.  But around a third of all wild-caught fish are turned into fishmeal, because fishmeal is around 65% protein and therefore in demand for for feeding farmed fish and pigs.  It's an almost invisible trade with huge consequences. But it's not an efficient way to make more protein. We need to re-think these links and ask whether it's really worth the damage to the ocean & communities.#ocean #fish #fishmealhttps://hakaimagazine.com/news/the-fervent-fight-over-fish-meal/?omhide=true&utm_source=Hakai+Magazine+Weekly&utm_campaign=f37dd9c2c5-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_09_06_COPY_03&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0fc1967411-f37dd9c2c5-121628661
