With a focus on gilt-head sea bream and European sea bass, Greece is known worldwide for its extensive aquaculture and commercial fishing industries. The two main fishing methods used are purse seine (nets resembling a drawstring purse when tightened to surround the fish) and trawler nets, with each vessel removing approximately 3 to 7 tonnes of fish from the sea per day. Onboard the fishing vessels, the fish are left to slowly suffocate to death. The amount of bycatch is high—several tonnes of undesirable dead fish are dropped back into the sea.
Workers onboard the fishing boat Fasilis sort the catch by type, dividing it between fish with commercial value and useless by-catch.
