How the interactive map works

Work your way along the images at the top of map, to learn about the different steps which are taken by fish once caught.

It all begins with the catch. Click on the red icon at the top left of the map, then follow the numbers in red to discover more about this stage and what happens for this process around the world.

Each stage has its own dedicated colour and locations are plotted on the map for you to explore. These are listed in the key beneath the map.

Please note: The interactive map will not be available to view after 1 December 2023, however it will be republished.
