Unfortunately as many waters have been overfished and thus are no longer productive, trawlers have to go deeper and deeper to keep our supermarkets well stocked

Unfortunately as many waters have been overfished and thus are no longer productive, trawlers have to go deeper and deeper to keep our supermarkets well stocked with endangered seafoods like Halibut.
- nradov 10y agoYour general point is correct, but Halibut is not endangered. Seafood Watch lists some types of Halibut as a "Good Alternative". http://www.seafoodwatch.org/seafood-recommendations/groups/halibut http://www.seafoodwatch.org/seafood-recommendations/groups/h...
- Reason077 10y agoThere's perhaps disagreement about this, but Atlantic Halibut is classified as endangered (IUCN Red list) and is also on Greenpeace's red list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_halibut https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_halibut In any case, nobody would disagree that Halibut stocks have been depleted (or even eradicated) in many areas where it was once plentiful.
