Sardine
Sardine sustainability varies depending on the specific region and fishing practices. Populations can fluctuate due to factors like environmental conditions and fishing pressure. Sardines are primarily wild-caught using methods such as purse seining, which can be selective and have low bycatch rates. However, overfishing in some regions poses challenges and potential impacts on marine ecosystems. Fish farming or aquaculture of sardines is relatively limited, but efforts to develop sustainable practices are underway, including responsible feed sourcing and waste management.
