Human Rights Abuses in the Seafood Industry « Free2Work: End Human Trafficking and Slavery:

 "Shockingly enough, it is not uncommon for workers in the fishing industry to be held in debt bondage, threatened with violence, or become otherwise exploited.  Before reaching its final destination, the seafood extracted from fishing boats is passed through many hands as it travels as raw material to the processor, distributor, and eventually to the consumer.  Free2Work underscores this connection between exploited workers in the fishing industry and the tainted $14.7 billion worth of seafood that the U.S. imports annually, most of which ends up on consumers’ plates."
