Aquaculture uses far more wild fish than previously estimated, study finds

A study, led by an international team of scientists from the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science, Oceana, and New York University, suggests that global fish farming may rely on significantly larger quantities of wild-caught ocean fish than previously calculated. These findings call into question long-held assumptions about sustainability and provide a range of plausible estimates for its impact on wild fish populations.
