Farmed fish is a bit of a disaster in itself. Here in BC, Canada we got absolutely wrecked by Atlantic salmon farms. It was a disaster for wild salmon and the environment around the farms due to detritus and disease. Really disgusting and inefficient.
- ggm 6y agoSame here in some ways. Salmon farms screwing up esturarine water, lots of super-fertilized "run off" in the waste, Prawn farms which went wrong with asian white spot disease from illegally acquired prawn meat as food (for prawns god help us) fishmeal.. now in the cycle so we're no longer disease free. Fish farming does have good promise but nothing is perfect. Farmed Tuna is a mixed bag too. Have to catch 'em wild I believe, can't yet do the full life cycle in the net. (could be wrong about that) I'm not a vegan reductionist. I like eating meat, including fishmeat. But I can't pretend it has no downsides, wild caught or farmed, its got issues.
