Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Not all seafoods are equal: Some carry less environmental impact than others because of differences in their abundance, how they're caught, and how well fisheries are managed. The key is to know which species are in good shape and which are not. Our goal is to help you become more familiar with your seafood, so that you're better able to make selections from healthy, thriving sources.

The Fish Scale color bar reflects the state of the fish. If a fish is in good shape — for example, if it's abundant, relatively well-managed, or the fishing methods have little effect on habitat and catch few unintended creatures — it's ranked green. If there are some concerns about a species' status, fishing methods or management, it ranks yellow. Species with significant problems receive a red designation on our Fish Scale.

Consumer demand has driven some fish populations to their lowest levels ever. But you can be part of the solution by choosing seafoods from healthy, thriving species and fisheries.

Which fish you buy at the market and off the menu will determine our oceans' future. Protecting our marine life is part of Audubon's mission to protect our great natural heritage. You can help with everyday choices that make a difference.

Review:

Review:

"...A highly attractive and inviting primer on how to have our seafood and eat it too..." Thomas E. Lovejoy, Smithsonian Institution and the World Bank

Review:

"In this amazing book, you can learn everything you need to know about seafood — even how to cook it!" Richard Ellis, author and illustrator

Review:

"[F]ar and above the best resource available for consumers to educate themselves about...the seafood they purchase." Henry Lovejoy, EcoFish.com

Synopsis:
