France's fisheries minister calls for an inquiry after a trawler spills more than 100,000 blue whiting.
France's fisheries minister has called for an investigation after a spillage of more than 100,000 dead fish off the country's Atlantic coast.An industry statement said the Margiris, the world's second-largest super trawler, had reported a "fishing incident" after its net broke.The lost fish would be deducted from the vessel's quota, the statement added.
The Sea Shepherd France environmental group filmed the fish on Thursday, saying they covered an area of about 3,000 sq m . Its head Lamya Essemlali told Reuters it wanted to "raise awareness among the French public" about the trawler, which it said had been banned from Australian waters and frequented the Bay of Biscay.
