Let’s read the passage and figure out what it talks about.

How do they produce such plant-based seafood?

Good Catch uses many legumes, including peas, lentils and soybeans, mixed with algal oil and seafood powder for their fish-free tuna product. Van Cleve Seafood offers crab cakes made from cabbage, artichoke and hearts of palm.

The fishing industry's human rights and environmental abuse is abundant. Many fishing boats are operated by migrants who are abused and forced to work long hours in terrible conditions. There's also the environmental issue of bycatch, the unintentional catching and killing of animals. Bycatch makes up about 40 percent of the fishing industry’s combined haul, 28.5 billion kilograms per year, according to Oceana, a nonprofit ocean conservation organization.
