The Dangers of Industrial Ocean Fish Farming
Friends of the Earth
Many people opt for seafood over terrestrially-raised meat because they want better nutrition, a more humane option, and a smaller environmental impact. However, not all seafood is created equal. Much of our available seafood has been mass-raised and harvested in indus- trial ocean farms, pumped with agricultural drugs and pesticides, and provided feed comprised of overfished
species, GMOs, and filler ingredients such as corn. In other words, the salmon on your plate could very well be unhealthy, inhumane, and unsustainable.
Thankfully not all seafood production methods are bad, and you can continue to feel good about the fish you eat. There are many sustainable ways to produce seafood, including land-based recirculating farms, ocean-based farms utilizing entire water columns, and even some wild-caught fisheries.
