[0:00]" This is Anthony -- in the double ABC news room for the first time a major supermarket chain has decided to stop selling some species of fish threatened by over -- Stop and shop was announced the company will stop selling for a shark frozen Chileans see that that's an orange roughly. I spoke with stop and shop senior seafood buyer Tracy Taylor about the company's concerns."
[0:22]" When these season opened up for shark we've made a conscious decision not to participate in that. However we also had made the decision that we needed to look at this continuing. Orange -- as well let Chilean sea bass DT the status of those fisheries. Would that -- at present items that take a little bit longer for those two -- through this system."
[0:43]" I see now I understand that this is the first time. That stop a job has made such decision based on a conservation concerns."
[0:52]" That is correct however we've been partnered with the New England Aquarium and 2000. So we've been paying attention to issues and work that they've been doing for it has been more revolved around. In depth research reports -- some individuals species. However we realized probably about a year ago that we really needed to each step that program to the next level. And start looking at our entire CP case. And which as a result some of the work that we're in the process of completing right now that's where we made the decision discontinued three species."
[1:29]" Tell me about some of those concerns and also some of the findings that led to this decision."
[1:34]" With Chilean sea -- that the very long lived species. Takes -- he'd get to the level where it can reproduce. Several years. And basically that fishery has bent over it's -- for many years. And they're also very high illegal fishery going on with that we felt that it was our best interest in the best interest of fisheries. To go ahead and discontinue that specific item until we started to see that fishery rebound. And basically the same scenario with the shark in Orange -- All of those dots are on. Theories behind in both of those species take a lot to recover from."
[2:16]" Now will you be expanding purchases of other types of other species. Two -- this this launch."
[2:23]" We are looking at some substitutions species we are looking at Staples fish to bring that on sometime soon as -- substitute for. Chilean sea -- because it hasn't somewhat similar flavor and it very oily fish that not easily ever current. -- there really isn't a replacement for we are recommending our customers get towards you know the largest species like swordfish tuna. For that type of thing and then on aren't rough -- Another similar tasting type fish would be like a lot --"
[2:58]" This is a sign of the times and tracing."
[3:00]" Yes it is it's definitely something that everybody needs to be take in the consideration."
[3:05]" Obviously we have heard much about a fishing stocks and some species that have been over fished for years and years. And even even some local types of fish have you seen any shortage of supply and other areas."
[3:21]" Not at at this point however it would present we start to see it sometime in the future."
