「Harper's」誌の2013年8月号は、「世界の漁場の暗い未来」について特集記事を掲載している。この記事と連動して、写真家のドミニク・ブラッコ氏とライターのエリック・ヴァンス氏が、ドキュメンタリー短編『After the Fish Are Gone』を制作した。
作品は、世界の漁場の85％が、限界スレスレまで漁獲されているか、限度を超えて漁獲され尽くされたという、悲惨な統計で始まる。
そして、メキシコ人の漁師であるピオリン氏が、漁業を初めた10代のころから見てきた、海のドラスティックな変化を語る。ピオリン氏は、キノという町での、自分の暮らしを語る。麻薬の密売人がいっぱいで貧困があふれる町での、希望が見えない生活だが、彼は海に癒やしを見つけているという。

Threatened Fish and Shellfish
Gray Sole(01 of12)
Wild-caught gray sole, or Atlantic sole, has been dangerously overfished over the last 50 years, leaving its numbers are very low. Whole Foods will instead buy more flounder, a similar species. (credit:Shutterstock)
Skate(02 of12)
Skate has also been very overfished. The majority are caught with bottom trawls, which result in accidental catches and significant damage to the seafloor. (credit:Wikipedia)
Atlantic Cod(03 of12)
Atlantic cod caught by trawlers will be banned, although some caught by gillnets or hook and line will be allowed by Whole Foods. \r\n\r\nPhoto by Flickr user Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk. (credit:Flickr: Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk)
Atlantic Halibut(04 of12)
Most Atlantic halibut have been overfished. They\'re also often caught with trawls, which disturb and destroy the seafloor. (credit:Wikipedia)
Octopus(05 of12)
Octopus is a popular ingredient in sushi, though there\'s little firm population data available. However, most octopus are caught in bottom trawlfisheries, which have concerning levels of bycatch and can damage the seafloor.\r\n\r\nPhoto by Flickr user XcBiker. (credit:Flickr: XcBiker)
Sturgeon(06 of12)
The numbers of imported wild sturgeon have taken a dive as a result of overfishing for their eggs, or caviar. (credit:Wikipedia)
Tautog(07 of12)
Partly as a result of their slow rates of reproduction and growth, populations of tautog are low. (credit:Wikipedia)
Turbot(08 of12)
This large flat fish is overfished in the Atlantic. (credit:Wikipedia)
Imported Wild Shrimp(09 of12)
Imported wild shrimp are often caught with bottom trawls that damage the seabed and result in bycatch of endangered species like sea turtles. (credit:Wikipedia)
Rockfish(10 of12)
Some species of rockfish will disappear from Whole Foods, but others will still be found. Among the threatened varieties are some species of Alaskan rockfish, which may already be locally depleted. They\'re also caught with environmentally-destructive trawls. (credit:Wikipedia)
Tuna(11 of12)
Whole Foods stopped selling bluefin tuna several years ago, and now banned tunas include species listed as \"red\" by its partners.\n\nPhoto by Flickr user InvernoDreaming. (credit:Flickr: InvernoDreaming)
Swordfish(12 of12)
Many swordfish are caught with methods that are often snare sea turtles, seabirds and sharks. Whole Foods will only carry swordfish caught using handlines, which involve a single baited line that catch one fish at a time and result in virtually no bycatch. (credit:Wikipedia)
