fishcount.org.uk is a new website to raise awareness and promote solutions to the suffering of fish in commercial fishing. A new report on the welfare of wild-caught fish is in progress and will be available from this website soon. The information presented on this website is based on the draft version of this report.

See our general response to the Green Paper on reform of the EU Common Fisheries Policy and our response to its questions.
