Fishing quota laws restrict the species, size and quantity that fishing boats are allowed to catch.

The fishermen call the fish that they find in their nets that they are not allowed to catch (or keep) 'by-catch'.

All in all fishermen are very poor farmers of the sea they want to take take take and have no regards for what their activities are doing to the seas. Formers on land have to look after the soil and plant seeds to get a harvest, while fishermen just throw in their nets, destroy the seabed and take fish at random.

What is the meaning of bycatch?

When fishing, bycatch is the material you didn't intent to catch. These organisms are generally thrown back into the sea, usually dead or heavily damaged (soon to die). Socially, it is more responsible to eat seafood with the least bycatch (that means it was the least wasteful and least damaging to the oceans). Example 1: Shrimp has some of the highest bycatch, and is therefore an environmentally unfriendly seafood choice. Example 2: Dolphins used to be a common bycatch of tuna. Boycotts lead to the use of dolphin-safe nets by major tuna companies.
