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.
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.

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.

A worker scoops live Nile tilapia into a plastic basket for transport to the sorting area during the harvest at an industrial fish farm in Thailand.
A worker uses a dip net to scoop up a group of juvenile tilapia which become piled within the net as they are lifted out of a transportation tank. The fish will be transferred to a mobile floating cage which will be used to relocate the animals to an Indonesian fish farm in the area, where they will raised until they reach market-size.

A close-up underwater view of a tilapia opening their mouth to grab a fish food pellet floating near the surface inside the murky water of a floating cage on an Indonesian fish farm.
A close-up view at surface level of the white and decaying bodies of several dead tilapia float on the surface water of a floating cage at an Indonesian fish farm. The dead tilapia are fed as food to the catfish being raised on the same farm.
A close-up underwater view of a crowded group of tilapia on an Indonesian fish farm, about to be harvested from the floating cage they live in. Surrounding the fish is a net used to confine the fish in a small area so that they can be transferred to another enclosure.
During a nighttime harvest at an Indonesian milkfish farm, workers wearing protective helmets stand in the water of a fish pond pulling up on a harvesting net. Captured and crowded milkfish jump and struggle trying to flee from confinement within the net. Crowding the fish together deprives them of oxygen and they will eventually suffocate.
A view from above as a worker uses a dip net to deposit juvenile tilapia into a mobile floating cage. The fish have been removed from a transportation tank and are being transferred to a nearby Indonesian fish farm.
Dead catfish and waste lie in shallow, filthy water covering the bottom of a tank at a fish farm.
Several dead catfish float belly up on the surface of a pond at a catfish farm.
