To Stockholm on discarded cod

In an article regarding the fishing industry voicing concerns at the EU about imported fish products article (see here), a key issue facing any reform of the EU Fisheries Policy was also identified as being ‘what is to be done to reduce the amount of "by-catch" – namely fish caught and then thrown back into the sea’.

Swedish Green MEP Isabella Lövin was sceptical about what could be done about minimum prices as that in Sweden alone, 5,000 tons of cod were discarded between 1995 and 1996.

SSACN – Laid nose to tail, that is sufficient cod to lay a path from Edinburgh to Stockhlom (1320 Km ).
