Love and hake: Richard E Grant. Picture: Rankin

Model Lizzy Jagger sits nude atop a tuna to highlight the threat to marine life from overfishing.

Jagger, 28, is the latest famous figure to pose with a fish, in a campaign devised by actress Greta Scacchi. The photograph, by Rankin, will be part of an exhibition that coincides with an EU summit on fishing quotas.

The FISHLOVE campaign began in 2009 when Scacchi caused a stir with an image of her with a cod. She devised the protest with friend Nicky Röhl, who owns Japanese restaurant Moshi Moshi in Brighton, which sources sustainable fish.

A host of high-profile figures have posed for Rankin shoots including Sir Ben Kingsley, Emilia Fox, Richard E Grant, Lenny Henry, Mariella Frostrup and Lizzy Jagger’s mother Jerry Hall. Scacchi, 52, said: “Fish stocks are at a critical level. This could not only see fish wiped out, but could have a devastating impact on the climate.

“There is a real chance of turning things around, and celebrities are great way of raising awareness.” The image of Jagger was taken with a yellowfin tuna. The fish in the pictures were donated by Waitrose and caught sustainably.

All the images will be on show at Pertwee, Anderson & Gold gallery in Bateman Street, Soho from October 25, as the EU reviews how much fish each member state can catch.
