Monkfish
From TipThePlanet
- All stocks of NE and NW Atlantic monkfish, including European and American species, are over-fished
- Monkfish are caught using bottom trawls that destroy the seabed and have high levels of bycatch
- The species is also slow-growing and late to mature, which makes it vulnerable to exploitation
