Traditionally, most families in the UK have fish on Good Friday. But not every fish species that we find on fresh fish counters, on the menu at a restaurant or in shelves at the supermarket is doing well. Many are threatened by overfishing.

barcoo can help you find out which species are threatened. Simply scan the barcode on the packaging or, when buying frish fish or at a restaurant, type in the name of the fish (e.g. pangasius or plaice) to get information about that fish species.

This Easter, try to preserve biodiversity in the oceans so future generations can enjoy them as we did.

Happy Easter!
