00:00Is your Friday night fish and chips under threat? Imagine walking into your favourite chip shop
00:06and there's no cod or haddock to choose from. That could become reality.
00:12Conservation groups warn that many of the UK's top commercial fish stocks are now unhealthy
00:17or overfished. Some key species are being caught beyond safe limits.
00:23The call is for stricter fishing quotas that match scientific advice
00:27to prevent stock from collapsing completely. Already, restricting catches in places like the
00:33west of Scotland and the northeast are helping some species recover. But it isn't simple.
00:39If quotas are too tight, fish prices might rise. And the industry,
00:44fishermen, businesses, chip shops will need support to adapt.
