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 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.

Workers sort sedated red hybrid tilapia during the harvest at a fish farm in Thailand. Those fish large enough to be sold are tossed into plastic drums, while the smaller fish are tossed back into floating pens. To deliver to certain supermarket chains, the weight and condition of the fish is strictly regulated, thus sedative is regularly used during the harvest to reduce damage to the fish from their 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 pours clove oil onto a large number of red hybrid tilapia inside a floating pen 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 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 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.
