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.

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.
