Atlantic mackerel disappears from supermarket shelves.

Dutch supermarkets are removing Atlantic mackerel and Atlantic Haddock from their shelves. This is because of concerns about overfishing. The goal is to protect fish stocks.

The Viswijzer organization previously marked Atlantic Haddock as ‘red,’ meaning it was considered overfished. Many supermarkets, including Albert Heijn, have already stopped selling the fish. Fishmongers report that the price of the remaining fish is rising. This action is part of efforts to manage fishing sustainably. The situation shows the difficulty of providing food while protecting fish populations.
