Good job!
The answer is "How is this seafood caught."
Fast fact
Some methods of catching and farming fish are more sustainable than others. Ask your waiter if you’re not sure what’s on the menu matches what’s listed on the Seafood Watch pocket guide.

Seafood Watch addresses five main issues when evaluating wild fisheries. These include which of the following?
|
Special thanks to Jim Toomey & the Sherman's Lagoon gang for supporting Seafood Watch.
|
Correct!
We address both of these issues – plus three more. A fishery has to do well in all five to receive a "Best Choice" recommendation from Seafood Watch.
Fast Fact
Seafood Watch uses five criteria to evaluate wild fisheries: bycatch (accidental catch), overfishing, management, habitat impacts and life history. We also use five criteria to evaluate farmed seafood: use of marine resources, risk of escapes, risk of disease to wild populations, habitat impacts from pollution and management effectiveness.
You’re half right.

You’re right!
Stay away from longline-caught tuna to help reduce the bycatch of sea turtles, sharks and seabirds.

Which of these very popular farmed seafood items is a "Best Choice"?
|
Special thanks to Jim Toomey & the Sherman's Lagoon gang for supporting Seafood Watch.
|
Yes!
The answer is mussels.
Fast Fact
Not all fish farms are created equal. Species that are filters feeders (like oysters and clams) or those that eat vegetarian diets (like catfish and tilapia) are the best candidates.
The farming of carnivorous fish increases fishing pressure on wild species like anchovy and mackerel that are used to make feed.
