This might surprise you, but: not at all costs, actually.


While that may be true in principle, it seems likely to me that price is a very important factor for many or even most people, so much so that they don't look too closely at provenance. Were that not the case then I would expect the market for battery chickens to have dried up by now, for example.


True, only for a reasonable cost. The kind of prices that responsible and renewable fishing probably can't match.

commercial fishing is subject to an extreme form of "size" competition that is hard to fathom! many documented cases, in many language groups
