A detail of rainbow trout eggs, taken at a rainbow trout hatchery and egg farm. Photos taken on assignment for Ecostorm / Compassion In World Farming.
A fish slaughterhouse that collects fish coming from several on-land farms. After transport, the fish are machine-stunned and then slaughtered. Stunning is not always successful before the fishes' throats are slit to bleed out. Photos taken on assignment for Ecostorm / Compassion In World Farming.
With a focus on gilt-head sea bream and European sea bass, Greece is known worldwide for its extensive aquaculture and commercial fishing industries. Fish farms discharge high levels of harmful pollutants, leading to algal blooms and dead zones and contaminating the water supply. They are also breeding grounds for disease, which can spread to native fish populations. Not only are the fish farms in Greek coastal sea and bay ecosystems damaging the local ecosystems, but they are forcing hundreds of thousands of fish inside overcrowded cages, just to be killed en masse using temperature shocks to maintain the fast pace of the production chain.
A fish farmer feeds food pellets to red hybrid tilapia. The fish are raised in floating fish pens at a farm by a river in Thailand.

Red hybrid tilapia converge at the surface of a floating pen, waiting to be fed at a fish farm in Thailand.
A large number of red hybrid tilapia feed on food pellets, in a crowded floating pen at a fish farm in Thailand. A worker in the background tosses a handful of pellets into the water.
An aerial view of an abandoned floating pen at a river in Thailand. As more fish farms are affected by the economy, a growing number of small farms are closing down.
A large group of red hybrid tilapia wait to be fed in a densely crowded floating pen at a fish farm in Thailand. Overcrowding is common problem in aquaculture, which can affect the health of the fish being raised.
Workers pick up sedated red hybrid tilapia from a floating pen to be weighed and sorted during the harvest at a fish farm in Thailand. Clove oil is a fast acting sedative that is used to calm fish prior to the harvest, making it easier for workers to handle the fish and minimize damage to them from too much struggling.

Workers at a fish farm in Thailand weigh and pack fresh red hybrid tilapia that have recently been slaughtered by "live chilling".
Workers sort sedated red hybrid tilapia during the harvest at a fish farm in Thailand. Those fish large enough to be sold are tossed into plastic drums, while the smaller fish are tossed back into floating pens. To deliver to certain supermarket chains, the weight and condition of the fish is strictly regulated, thus sedative is regularly used during the harvest to reduce damage to the fish from their struggling.

A worker fills plastic baskets with live Nile tilapia during the harvest at an industrial fish farm in Thailand. The fish will be carried in these baskets to a metal table where they will be sorted by size and tossed into other baskets where they will wait to be transferred to oxygenated water in the back of a pickup truck. From the time they are harvested until the time they are moved to the transport truck, the fish are kept out of the water.
