The Conversation: aquaculture

This resource consists of a number of news articles and analytical pieces under the topic of aquaculture, within which there is one article that investigates the role of sustainable fish farming as world fish production overtakes world beef production. The article compares the environmental impact of both trawl fishing and fish farming in the context of harvesting pressure on world wild fish populations and the worldwide demand for more food. The sustainability of fish populations and the health benefits of fish in the diet are key elements of the argument for an increase in production from fish farms.
