Farmed Tasmanian salmon is on the naughty list this year, but plenty of delicious options will keep you in the good graces of the environment.
Every Christmas, Australians go through a mountain of seafood – including more than 6 million tonnes of prawns alone – killing untold numbers of marine life as bycatch, increasing pollution and putting some species’ futures at risk.South Coast Mariculture managing director Sam Gordon, on deck in Jervis Bay, says mussel and oyster farming is a “net benefit” form of aquaculture.
Seafood Market, for example, advertised tiger prawns for $39.90 to $45.50 per kilo, while ocean king prawns were between $45.50 to $49 per kilo .Farmed prawns from Australia have received the AMCS’s tick of approval, as have Spencer Gulf prawns, described as affordable and sustainable. “There is always work going on to reduce interaction with other species, and it’s one of the best-performing issues in the country in terms of bycatch,” she said.
GoodFish program manager Stephanie McGee, who helped compile the report for the AMCS, said consumers should instead look for farmed barramundi.
