Environmental Science: Paul Greenberg: The four fish we're overeating -- and what to eat instead

Paul Greenberg: The four fish we're overeating -- and what to eat instead

Summary:
He discusses how we have moved from eating a multitude of animal species to only a few (four in fishing: salmon, cod, tuna, and shrimp). This trend has happened predominantly in the last 50 years. He also mentions how “we are currently taking between 80 and 90 million metric tons” (Greenberg, 2015) out of the sea every year and that with the advent of fish farming and aquaculture we are taking the equivalent of two of the human weight of China out of the seas every year.
