Red Mullet
Red mullet sustainability varies across regions, with some populations stable or increasing while others face declines. Wild-caught red mullet may involve methods like trawling and gillnetting, which can have unintended bycatch and environmental impacts, however handline fishing is a more selective practice, helping to minimize bycatch. Fish farming of red mullet is limited and faces challenges due to the species' biological characteristics. Supporting well-managed fisheries, responsible fishing practices, and conservation efforts are crucial for ensuring the long-term sustainability of red mullet populations and minimizing environmental impacts.
