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.

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.
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 main fish auction in the port of Piraeus (the chief sea port of Athens) is the largest in Greece, processing and selling approximately 150 to 200 tonnes of fish daily, of which about 60 to 70 tonnes are from Greek fishing vessels operating in the local seas, about 20 to 30 tonnes are from Greek fish farms, and the remainder are imports.

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 onboard the fishing boat Fasilis sort the catch by type, dividing it between fish with commercial value and useless by-catch. Greece, 2020. Selene Magnolia / We Animals Media
A worker onboard the fishing vessel Fasilis shovels fish back into the sea. During the sorting process, unwanted fish (bycatch) are sorted into piles on the deck, where they lay suffocating until they are eventually tossed back into the water. Many do not survive.
