European Hake
From TipThePlanet
European Hake
- Many stocks in Northern Europe are over-fished
- Hake are a slow-growing, late maturing species which makes them vulnerable to over-exploitation
- The methods used to catch hake, mid-water trawls and gill nets, are associated with a high rate of capture of immature fish which are discarded, and also kill dolphins and porpoises.
