Freshwater Fish In Danger of Extinction
Here's something that's sobering for us in the F&B industry: Nearly 1/3 of the world's freshwater fish population is facing extinction, with some calling it a " catastrophic decline."
According to a report published Tuesday by 16 global conservation groups, 18,075 species of freshwater fish inhabit our oceans, accounting for over half of the world's total fish species and a quarter of all vertebrates on Earth. This biodiversity is critical to maintaining not only the health of the planet, but the economic prosperity of communities worldwide.
