The deck of a trawler fishing vessel after their nets have been pulled aboard with fish from the French Mediterranean Sea. Nets are deployed with a camera and sensor that send information to the bridge of the vessel, indicating the fullness of the nets. Bycatch - animals who are not the fishing target - are numerous. 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. 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.
