About wild caught fish

The wild-caught fishery is an important contributor to the global omega-3 supply, providing species harvested directly from their natural marine environments. The key sources in ORIVO´s reference database include anchovy from the nutrient-rich waters of Peru, sardine and mackerel from the productive coastal fisheries of North Africa, and Black Sea anchovy from Eastern Europe’s unique marine ecosystem. All of these wild-caught species are naturally rich in the essential omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which are vital for human health. Their abundance is closely tied to regional oceanographic conditions, such as nutrient upwellings and seasonal migrations, making careful fishery management essential. Sustainable harvesting practices help protect these valuable stocks, support marine biodiversity, and ensure that the ecological balance of the oceans is maintained for generations to come.
