Anyone read this book?

I'm almost finished reading Bottomfeeder by Taras Grescoe and it's awesome! It's about overfishing of some fish populations and the dangers of farmed fish for the environment and the toxins they contain. It's really amazing how little regulation there is regarding fishing and farming in other countries and how little inspection is done of the fish we import. The author traveled to different fishing areas around the world and discusses the primary type of fish caught/eaten there and how it's consumption and the methods used to catch (or grow) the fish have impacted the environment. (It's not all bad- he talks about sustainable fishing practices in some areas too) It's a great book for anyone who is interested in eating fish ethically or in the impact our current practices have on the ocean's ecosystems.
