[HIGHLIGHTS] Austria: Strictly protected fish fried in ORF broadcast

The female nerfling is listed on the Austrian Red List of Endangered Species. The fish is listed as protected all year round in numerous state fishing regulations.

It is still unclear how the species of fish got into the television kitchen. The cooking show was obviously not well received by all viewers - because the broadcasting ORF felt compelled to apologize on Tuesday. Numerous Austrian media reports on the faux pas. Sol Sol, a reporter for the Austrian newspaper Die Presse, said: “It was a bit of an embarrassment for the ORF.”
