Nations in the far east already have have vast fish farms in the ocean (along the coasts). They are huge and produce huge quantities of fish -- a substantial percentage of fish consumed. But there are species that people like to eat that cannot be farmed economically or at all. So they are caught in the wild.
- throwtheacctawy 5y agoWorth noting, fish farms have flaws that have not been addressed yet. E.g. - there is a parasite that attacks the flesh of farm raised fish. The fish literally get slowly eaten alive. Scientists still trying to find a good solution that scales. Currently, the yields in commercial fish farms won't meet consumption demand. IMO, it is probably better to eat meat than fish. We at least have a better understanding of how to more sustainably raise cattle. I'm probably not entirely accurate here, but cattle do not have the same level of ecological importance as fish do.
