Cod should not be difficult to farm like any other animal.
We have the technology.
I was a fisheries observer before I changed careers to programming.
Longline fishing is insanely unsustainable. Seeing and recording the bycatch is both heartbreaking and makes you incredibly angry.
- jimnotgym 7y agoI once heard trawling and dredging described as, "like cutting down the forest to kill a squirrel".
- goatinaboat 7y agoI’ve dived areas that have been dredged. There is is literally no life for miles. Whereas before it was teeming with life... that’s what attracted the dredgers.
- inflatableDodo 7y agoImagine it as a method of hunting on land and it becomes particularly gruesome. Fishermen in balloons dragging nets across fields, then raining down the carcasses of anything that cannot be sold.
- tonyedgecombe 7y agoFarmed fish are mostly fed other fish, I’m not convinced it is a solution.
- sgt101 7y agoThey are extensively farmed now. The challenge was to stop them eating each other, but it turns out that keeping them under intense lights stops that. The problem is that they need to be fed with other fish.... and the pollution is vile.
