The Responsible Fish Consumption Guide, launched on April 2 by WWF-Brazil, indicates the fish that can be consumed by Brazilians. Thirty-eight species of fish were researched, which are the most sought after by consumers.
Of all the material evaluated, the majority with 58% were classified in the red category, which are species coming from unsustainable fisheries or farms, and therefore cannot be consumed, as is the case of pink shrimp and blue shark. Classified as yellow (21%), are tilapia and striped bonito, which although they come from sources with some risk to sustainability, can be consumed in moderation. In the green category (21%) are the species that are safer for consumption, such as pink salmon and some mollusks.
