Farmed Fish in Europe and Food Security in Senegal
A study warns that farmed fish in Europe could threaten food security in Senegal. Local fishermen in Senegal supply fishmeal factories with fresh fish, which may impact the supply of fresh fish in local markets.
Traditionally, the daily catch in Dakar was sold directly on the beach before being offered at the local market. However, fishermen are now being drawn to fishmeal factories, which produce feed for aquaculture.
The study reveals that sardines from Senegal are being used to feed sea bass — labeled as sustainably farmed — which are sold in Dutch supermarkets.
The investigative team conducted this analysis using trade data and on-the-ground reporting, highlighting the potential consequences of the growing demand from fishmeal factories.
