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.
