It may not appear as such but fish and seafood actually represents half of human meat consumption. It is estimated<ref>Fish: Numbers given by the FAO in its 2018 report on fishery (click here for report)/Meat: Numbers correspond to the FAO’s 2019 “Meat market review”
<u>Fish:</u> 20.2 kg/pp — <u>Meat:</u> 41.3 kg/pp — <u>Bovine meat:</u> 10.1 kg/pp — <u>Mutton meat:</u> 2.1 kg/pp — <u>Pig meat:</u> 15.3 kg/pp — <u>Poultry meat:</u> 13.8 kg/pp</ref> that, on a yearly basis, humans eat about 41kg of land-animal meat per person as well as, surprisingly enough, 20kg of fish. 

What do these figures imply? Simply that <u>our consumption of fish has to be taken seriously and considered in its entirety</u>. 

Indeed, our food habits are directly linked to an industry which does impact the environment and, therefore, the climate. To acknowledge that the species of the fish, its origin and the fishing method employed in its production can have a “good” to a “very bad” effect on our planet’s ecosystem is important and must drive our consumption.

This article entends to list a few guidelines to follow when buying fish with an environmentally-conscious mind. 3 rules:

#Give priority to “artisanal fishing”
#Give their chance to other species
#Do not trust labels
