鱼板被机器打碎
2016年12月15日,山东石岛的一家鱼粉厂里,机器正在把一块块由垃圾鱼冻成的鱼板打碎,对原料进行前处理。除了使用分不清种类的垃圾鱼,山东的鱼粉厂也大量使用鳀鱼作为原料,这种俗称“离水烂”、“老眼屎”的银灰色小鱼是鲅鱼、带鱼的主要食物,过去根本入不了当地居民的眼,更别提拿来吃。然而,随着野生鱼类资源衰退,养殖业逐渐兴旺,鳀鱼成了做鱼粉最好的原料,也开始成为当地渔民捕捞的对象。

Overfishing of Juvenile Fish in China
In December 2016, Greenpeace documented the intense overfishing of juvenile and "trash" fish - fish too young and/or too small for human consumption - in Shandong province, one of the major fishery regions in China. Greenpeace East Asia's investigation estimates that up to one third of China's total annual catch is "trash fish" - that is equivalent to the entire annual catch of Japan.
Overfishing over the past 30 years has destroyed much of the cycle of life in China’s waters. As result there are fewer and fewer mature fish. What’s left are quantities of juvenile fish, called “trash fish” by fishermen. Inedible for humans, the trash fish are processed for use as aquaculture feed. China has the world’s largest aquaculture industry. It consumes more than 7 million of domestic wild fish yearly and that demand is driving intensive fishing of juvenile fish. A vicious cycle causing even more damage to China’s seas.
