Fishes said protected from extinction found freely sold in Swedish shops
Thursday, 27 September 2012
Several deep-sea fish such as those that are red-listed by various environmental NGOs have been found freely sold in Swedish fish counters, report various Swedish media sources.
Of the 57 Swedish supermarkets surveyed, 37 sell these deep-sea fish, and 43 of 44 independent fish dealers also sell them, according to a survey by the Society for Nature Conservation.
An example of this type of fish is the Plaice, which the report described as vulnerable to overfishing because of its late sexual maturity and has been red-listed by the World Wildlife Fund, which was found in six out of ten Swedish fish counters.
Many deep-sea fishes are described as extra threatened because they, like plaice, often have slow growth and low reproduction. Some can live very long, and reach sexual maturity late. They are important to the ecosystem because they take care of the falling materials to the bottom of the sea and thus prevent dead zones.
It can be recalled that Swedish officials are easy to go to African to prevent the extinction of animals such as gorillas, monkeys and the like which the local people there eat. Such phenomenon could be seen with flashy pictures that show of TV sets. But when it come to Sweden taking responsibilities ion managing other threaten species, it does not matter.
