A few good reflexes allow us to limit the consequences of overfishing, loss of habitat and climate change. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">It is estimated that 50% to 90% of the populations of large pelagic fishes (which live in waters close to the surface or between the surface and the bottom) have disappeared in about 15 years due to overfishing. Commonly consumed species, such as bluefin tuna, Newfoundland cod or sardines are in great danger; they are often cited as the emblems of a disturbing phenomenon at the global level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Furthermore, Beelong finds that the use of seafood in communities is concentrated on only 10 species! These are: salmon, tiger shrimp, tuna, trout, cod\/cod, perch, pollack, squid, sea bream and pangasius. However, there are many more sustainable alternatives, including lake fish (see below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"781\" height=\"483\" data-id=\"2329\" src=\"https:\/\/beelong.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Disparition_Poissons.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beelong.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Disparition_Poissons.jpg 781w, https:\/\/beelong.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Disparition_Poissons-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beelong.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Disparition_Poissons-768x475.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beelong.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Disparition_Poissons-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 781px) 100vw, 781px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\"><strong>What threats?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">The following are threats to fish and shellfish: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Overfishing <\/strong>is the result of industrial fishing practices on the high seas. On a large scale since the middle of the 20th century, it has environmental, economic and social consequences, including the depletion of species stocks;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>the loss or degradation of habitats<\/strong> also decreases the abundance of fish. The main causes are climate change, concrete construction (dams, dykes), certain fishing techniques, eutrophication (accumulation of nutrients, a kind of natural pollution) and toxic and plastic pollution;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>climate change<\/strong> is altering the distribution of fish stocks, their diet and their habitats. They lead to an adaptation of fishing methods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\"><strong>The principles to follow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">To limit these impacts, it is better to ban endangered species and destructive fishing techniques.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wwf.ch\/fr\/guide-poissons\">The WWF's Fish and Seafood Guide<\/a>, par exemple, d\u00e9taille pour de nombreuses esp\u00e8ces lesquelles privil\u00e9gier (vert), acheter en second choix (orange) ou \u00e9viter (rouge).

One of the major problems is by-catch and size of maturity. Bottom trawling, small-mesh nets, seine fishing or explosive fishing lack selectivity and are particularly damaging to habitats. It is better to choose fish caught by line, net or trap (refer to the labels).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">The consumption of fish from our lakes represents a good local and sustainable alternative, as long as you take care of threatened species such as the white-clawed crayfish and the small lamprey. Here are ten species to (re)discover!

There are three main levers: stop or reduce consumption, favour a more sustainable production method (label), or change species, piece or food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">A testimonial from one of the communities supported by Beelong, Pierre Gordien, food buyer at the Ecole h\u00f4teli\u00e8re de Lausanne (EHL): \"Concerning the tiger shrimp, the purchasing department looked for price alternatives with the ASC label. When we finally found something, our chef did not like the quality. So, instead of looking for another alternative, the real solution was simply to stop using shrimp!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">To go further, our blog post\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/beelong.ch\/en\/manger-durable-pas-si-complique\/\">Sustainable eating in 8 key steps<\/a>\u00a0\u00bb vous donne toutes les astuces pour une consommation alimentaire durable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\"><em>The Beelong Team<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Parmi les esp\u00e8ces animales menac\u00e9es, les poissons et produits de la mer sont particuli\u00e8rement vuln\u00e9rables.
