Responsible fishing guarantees a fishing practice that respects marine ecosystems. It preserves the natural reproductive capacity of fish and does not deplete species.
Responsible aquaculture ensures farming methods that respect the environment (farming practices, feed...). It is a whole balance that must be preserved to prevent aquatic species from being threatened and marine flora from being damaged.
Consumers' awareness of the fragility of the oceans and the increasing scarcity of fishery resources is quite recent. The industry is getting organized, from production to distribution, but nothing will be possible without a change in everyone's behavior.
For its part, Carrefour has banned from its shelves all endangered species (such as the shark, pomegranate and emperor). The retailer has chosen to offer a wide range of MSC, ASC and Organic certified products in all its shelves. But consumers also have a major role to play: by preferring to buy products identified as "responsible fishing and aquaculture" and by varying the species purchased.
