Jellyfish could become commonplace on menus at fish and chip shops in the future in an effort to protect critically endangered seafood, researchers have claimed.
Academics from the University of Queensland in Australia recently conducted a study of fishing records across the world.
Following their analysis, they discovered that 92 endangered species of seafood and 11 species classed as critically endangered were being caught.
This could mean that species of seafood on the brink of extinction could be legally being caught and served to diners at restaurants, explained Leslie Roberson, a PhD student at the university’s Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Science.
“This could mean that the ‘fish’, ‘flake’ or ‘cod’ that Australians typically order at the fish and chip shop could be critically endangered,” she said.
Yeah, we've been told for years that our fisheries simply aren't sustainable - and yet, the demand just isn't going away . Perhaps this will prove to be a workable solution.
Still, I expect quite a lot of people will be a bit disgusted by this (it's quite commonly eaten in parts of Asia, but definitely not here in the UK). So, how will it be sold to British consumers?
