5. Chilean Sea Bass
Chilean sea bass are fish that has been hunted to extinction. However, this is not the only negative fact. Another bad thing is that this species is contaminated, because the levels of mercury in bass is higher than it should be. If you see this species of fish for sale, it is then probably a different kind of bass with an erroneous tag, or it is illegally caught fish. Actually Greenpeace reported that, Chilean sea bass may become totally extinct within 6 years’ time unless we change our fishing methods.

6. Atlantic Cod
Do some research before purchasing fish. Find out more information about the differences between fish caught in the Atlantic and fish caught in the Pacific. Atlantic code has recently been added to the list of contaminated fish. The National Fisheries Services has carried out a chronic mismanagement and concluded that Atlantic code is packed with mercury. The species has also been included in the list of endangered species. We recommend you should eat Pacific cod – this species is not as contaminated as its Atlantic cousin. Besides, it can still be abundantly caught.
