Is menhaden the most important fish?

摘要

A lot has been said and written about over-fishing around the world and of the need to encourage diners to switch to species of fish that are more sustainable.Some species are being renamed to make them sound more palatable.For example,the humble pilchard is now the Cornish sardine,while the slimehead has been renamed the orange roughy.One leading retailer has seen sales of the Torbay sole increase dramatically since changing its name from the witch fish.
