I don’t quite understand this estimation. It seems you are comparing Albert Schweitzer Foundation’s work with an intervention that improves welfare for farmed food fish (rather than stocked fish)? It seems that the graph includes wild-caught fish. According to a fishcount estimate, in 2015 Germany slaughtered 8-66 million farmed fish. In general, my intuition is that those variables would not be similar to the ones in chicken campaigns.
Good catch, I also don’t think the welfare improvement would be anywhere near a cage-free campaign, especially after reading that economic incentives part of your post. Unless you think the slaughter is really really bad, this probably isn’t a worthy cause area.

These fish are not slaughtered, they are released into natural waters. But I wouldn’t jump to conclusions that quickly :)
