Good news for the private fishing folk. Farm fish has been growing and is well established for several different species....

Worldwide, the most important fish species produced in fish farming are carp, Tilapia, Salmon, and Catfish.

Demand is increasing for fish and fish protein, which has resulted in widespread overfishing in wild fisheries. China provides 62% of the world's farmed fish.

Claims are now made that Tasmanian salmon fish farming is an ecological disaster happening in front everyone.

@FrayedBear Links? Support? Remember Tasmania is a part of Australia. There are thousands of fish farms for all kinds of fish. Notice in my link that I pointed out that 62% of the worlds fish farms are in China alone. Once the kinks are worked out you can bet they'll be Ecologically correct

@FrayedBear The caption in the photo sums it up;

Tasmania's EPA has admitted the science behind fish farm expansion in Macquarie Harbour was wrong.

When scientists are on the job...things will get fixed.

And that's just one section of Australia.

The records show overwhelming success with fish farming.

You're pointing out an exception.

We won't "eat fish out of existence"...we're putting reins on wild fishing and farm fish stocks. The scientific comment is a perfect example.

As a demographer I don't blame fish farming...I point a finger to the still absurd population growth.

158 more births, than deaths per minute, world wide.
227,000 more mouths to feed per day.

THAT'S WHERE THE ROOT OF OUR PROBLEM IS.

Great article. Thanks for posting.

A very interesting article. If these areas are supplemented by smaller sized frying pans elsewhere, then world fish stocks will certainly improve. 🤣😜

It's a start to sustainable fishing so we don't run out

Sounds like they are onto something with this research...although I’m sure like climate change deniers, those that want to fish without restrictions will prefer not to believe it. Fishing using drag- nets should have been universally banned years ago, they are a large part of the problem of the depletion of fishing stocks.

I am curious how they enforce the no take zone.
