It doesn't help when Dutch trawlers suck up sand eels by the ton without hindrance from anybody. What do they do with them, I hear you ask? Well they're turned into either fish meal, which is fed to farmed fish, mostly salmon. Or they have their oil extracted to run a power station, which sort of makes them electric eels. No, it's not funny, it's fucking tragic, sand eels are a big link in the food chain for so many forms of marine life, and it shouldn't be happening. But what the fuck they're only little fish, and we're big fish, so we can wipe them out if we want: can't we??
