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.

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.

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.
