The fish we eat

摘要

THE 2016 SEAFOOD exposition in Brussels is hoped to attract a couple of tens of thousands of professional visitors. It would certainly encourage trade and other seafood-related business, but I doubt that it would change the preferences of the world'sconsumers or their numbers.The problems that seafood encounters on the world markets, in particular the 'western' ones, stem from other reasons. The plethora of social networks and press, which meddle with seafood and the different ways it's caught, handled, processed and marketed, has been causing many consumers to become increasingly choosy and asking often difficult to answer questions. This is affecting fishing people, seafood importers and marketing chains.
