The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) has urged people to avoid buying eight of nine brands of crab and lobsters caught by fisheries, due to “poor management”.
The charity released its annual Good Fish Guide, which found that Shetland brown crab was the only 'best choice' option in the UK.
Its research found that many crab and lobster populations were suffering, and in some areas, there are concerns of entanglement of whales in the ropes attached to pots.
