Floating pens of a sea bass and sea bream farm. The pens can be a high risk for environmental degradation to the local oceanic ecosystem and lethal to the fish due to overcrowding. Photos taken on assignment for Ecostorm / Compassion In World Farming.
Sea-farmed sea bass are hauled from floating pens and dumped into ice containers, then transferred to the slaughter and packing plant. Photos taken on assignment for Ecostorm / Compassion In World Farming.
After being moved from the floating pens of a sea bass and sea bream farm, thousands of sea bass are dumped into ice containers. The shock of ice is meant to kill the fish quickly but the process is in fact painful and slow. They fish are then processed and packed, some remaining conscious even after this ordeal. Photos taken on assignment for Ecostorm / Compassion In World Farming.
Thousands of sea bass agonize inside the slaughter and packing plant of a sea farm. From the floating pens, the fish are dumped into ice containers and then transferred to the processing line where they are packed. Many fish remain alive throughout the process including when they are packed into boxes. 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.
