Trout
Widely farmed and they eat alot of fishmeal (a
damaging fishery in itself). Native brown trout
are threatened by non-indigenous rainbow trout.
TIP: Buy organic where you can.
Problems
The current state of some wild sea trout in the Gulf of Bothnia and the Gulf of Finland are considered as critical by the ICES.
Solutions
Avoid eating from depleted stocks. Only choose wild line caught trout from well-managed fisheries above the legal minimum landing size.
Avoid fresh trout caught in the breeding season from October to January.
