FAO warns that 80% of the global fish stocks are overexploited. 30% Of marine species are below the safe biological limit. Each day grows the fear that may not regenerate. In a few years, seas will be esquilmados and the fishing sector as an economic agent will disappear. As has already happened with European stocks. Since the seas from the North to the Bay of Biscay, Cantabrian and Mediterranean have exhausted and destroyed the habitat of most species.

This depletion is due to trawling with kilometric nets, fences that trap up to the calves, using powerful lights, sonar, radar and the service from satellites seeking life in the seas to destroy it. Boy, I heard talk about fishing with dynamite in the Galician rias, lights and forbidden arts. That is why our European fleets were in search of rich fishing grounds in Africa, Latin America and Asia. In many countries it served as the rulers without scruples, of the lack of means to defend the fishing in its waters, or fake ventures that drained its wealth and they served an exploited labor and living as exiles in their own seas. Perhaps not have we exhausted the fishing grounds of the great sun, Barents Sea and many others? It is that 93% of cod in the North Sea is captured before spawning and, since 2005, there is no fishing for anchovy in the Bay of Biscay in a desperate attempt to return the species to viable levels of exploitation not true? The vedas, sizes, their migrations, or the regeneration of their natural spaces have not been respected. We have ravaged beyond where you’ve gone, not only European, but Russians, Americans, Chinese and Japanese, along with companies from other countries that fish, prepared and packaged with their own brands. We have seen the extermination of large part of whales and other cetaceans, although 90% of its meat would serve to manufacture feed for pigs, poultry and other animals.
