Aquaculture

Ocean life is today threatened as never before. Human activities are taking their toll, and nothing exacts a greater price than the industrial scope and scale of fishing to feed our growing appetite for seafood.

Farming salmon, once a dream fish, has become a nightmare for the environment.

Seafood has enjoyed a long history of acceptance among people who otherwise do not eat meat. Yet today's food gurus are placing pescatarianism at the height of ravenously irresponsible eating.

One recent story that should have generated some rather large waves has made only a minor splash. Chile's salmon farming industry, second only to Norway's, is on the verge of collapse.

Projections show that even with the increasing world population and a shift of nutritional patterns away from red meat towards seafood, actual fish production will decline in the future.
