Comment on Major UK supermarket to stop selling mackerel in coming weeks

I used to refer to the Marine Conservation Society’s Good Fish Guide on the odd occasion I’d eat fish. Back then I remember mackerel being sustainable, sadly that is no longer the case as the guide for mackerel now says:
Most mackerel sold in the UK needs improvement because of long-term overfishing. Avoid mackerel caught using gillnets.

That guide is interesting. Only lists brown crab though and no others, is that just because the others are unpopular enough to not really matter?
Also feel like it should be easier to legally catch invasive species to eat, salt water fine as you can just turn up without permission or permits but fresh water you need to do a bunch of paperwork to bother catching invasive crayfish. Make it easy for anyone to eat the invasive species to extinction!
