In 2021 world pop. was around 7.5 to 7.8 billion. If it reaches 9.1 billion in 2050, it's not 34% more than the actual pop. 9.1 - 7.5 = 1.6 =》 1.6 / 7.5 × 100 = 21.33%.
We will kill ourselves for resources by then. The earth cannot comfortably support this burgeoning population. Its systems are strained beyond what they can support now!

After spending 30 years in the fish business. We quit buying Norwegian salmon because of the antibiotics they used that could adversely hurt humans. I did not hear them address this problem. Sea lice are common on most marine species
@@callemacody I understand that the old methods of farm fishing required high doses of antibiotics due to the crowded, dirty water that was basically filled with shit. This method has constant filtering with the ocean water. I'm sure there's a ton of adverse effects that they aren't telling us though.
Backyard chickens. Turns food scraps into fresh eggs with zero food miles. Should be encouraged but many councils discourage it. My opinion from Australia
Guerilla farming, microfarming, food forests, permaculture. Enough solutions were you don't need machines and technology. But people keep fookin and eating crap.
So the same Norwegian salmon reported to be one of the worst foods to eat? If that report was accurate, what's the point of continuing the practice... And what's the point of this lie filled video
That "report" is a satanic fraudulent piece of international defamation, a highly profitable industry There is no lies on this video, but the one you're talking about is in such a way a filthy and heinous crime against the salmoners and the gullible souls watching it that the perpetrators deserve to rot in jail for life
Indeed, I watched a youtube video about how the fish pellets they feed the fish are mainly made from bottom dwelling fish of the baltic sea, a sea known to be highly polluted, especially in the deepest parts where the bottom dwellers live.
Norwegian salmon fish farms are not farms. They are oceanic feed lots. A mussel or oyster farm is a farm. It utilizes the production of the ocean's primary production to produce a produce a product just as a sheep farm, which only uses the grass produced on the farm, produces a product. A Norwegian, so called, fish farm uses fish meal from fish caught, mainly off the coast of Peru and products from land farms to make a fish feed which is all the fish eat. And here is the kicker. You may have heard that when feeding fish (or chickens or other animals) you get a 2:1 conversion factor. In other words a kg of fish food produces half a kg of fish (some of which is bone, guts and other waste). Absolutely true in a commercial sense. You pay a certain amount per kg of fish food and get so much per kg for your fish. But biologically it is a myth. The food is dry, typically under 7% water, while the fish is wet, typically over 80% water. Do the actual math and you will find that only about 10% of the feed becomes fish, just as you were taught in biology. It takes a ton of phytoplankton to make 100kg of zooplankton which makes 10kg of penguin, which makes 1kg of leopard seal. Which means that 90% of the food you feed to the fish goes into the water as faces, urine and exhaled carbon dioxide. That is why the oceanic feed lots are so so polluting. We would be better off to find neat ways to eat the anchovy which are fished off the coast of Peru and to eat the land based components of the fish feed.
Fish farming still leaves me puzzled as to the logic: fishing wild fish to make dehydrated fish powder to feed fish farming, hence depleting reserves of of (poor) local population who rely on artisanal small-scale fishing.
A dairy farmer once told me 'I'm a grass farmer', no grass = no milk, so by the same logic an aquaculture farmer is still a fisherman, no fish as feed = no fish. Aquaculture has just outsourced the feed fishing for image and profit. Intensive corporate farming for profit is the problem not the solution.
No fish no feed not true. We want to avoid the ocean due to the 300 tons spilled into the ocean each day and nuclear waste has a long shelf life. This is why there is Black soldier fly farmers and worm farmers We can get fish from Aquaponics and is over all healthier. So when we look at Ocean farm 1 it only employees 7 people where as Aquaponics combined with hydroponics farms hire Thousands. Even if we automated our Land farms would still need plenty of hands. this is the problem we face with Government owned Businesses as it creates a problem that causes Economic abuse. How money is used to cause damage to the population of citizens. Already not enough job's for the population even in USA it's a world wide issue. One thing in this video I noticed was I didn't see them having any Duckweed farms or feeding the fish duck weed so they don't have a healthy balance. We wouldn't want to eat fish from Ohio river as even small traces of mercury has health effects and nuclear waste is no different despite their claims to stop people from panicking. We also face issues with soil depletion , Indians always knew how to cultivate Terra Petra we never had to teach them to even plant corn they already knew despite the history books painting a different picture. We know we can grow Grass through hydroponics. The laws are opening up for Aquaculture to be organic. Before it was like a war. Control is really what it's about. Milk and other dairy products are the top source of saturated fat in the American diet, contributing to heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease. Studies have also linked dairy to an increased risk of breast, ovarian, and prostate cancers. Researchers tested popular fast food items like hamburgers, pizza and burritos for traces of phthalates. High levels of phthalates have been linked to fertility issues, asthma and cognitive development problems in children.
Correct. truly sustainable fish farms will have to basically "farm an eco system" in the ocean and not just the fish. In nature, each eco system looks after everything in it. Not just one specie in that system.
Isn't having something moored in one place just adding fish poop in one place? Tons and tons of it? And where does the feed come from and what happens to the onboard fish waste? Very light on meaningful data.
The Norwegian sea has an average depth of 1600 meters, the point about these constructions is to move the farms out onto those kinds of depths where sea currents will scatter the waste of the fish into an area so large that it has no more concentration of fish poop than any other parts of the ocean. It is a problem for fish farms in still shallow waters and exactly what this thing aims to tackle.
And the good thing, for the owners, with such farm in the open see is that if they pollute the environment, nobody will be there to witness it and complain about it. And by the time we realize that it is the case it will be very hard to pinpoint which fish farm is the source of the pollution.
@@lazarduke6596 Good question. I don't know much about fish farming, but unnatural population densities as in those enclosures may have multiple impacts. I'd want to know the effects of the following over time; hypertrophic contamination from artificial food stuffs, contaminant residuals from artificial food stuffs (hormones, residual pesticides etc.), escapees and genetic dilution/pollution of natural populations, pathogenic densities resultant of dense populations and attendant stressors, etc. etc. etc.
@@lazarduke6596 It's own presence, for one. Pollution should be the least concern. The fact is that China has found another environmentally damaging method for making money and it's a win-win for the already huge overfishing economy in Norway.
The reality is that there is a lot food out there but a lot of is actually not essential. If we can just stop eating and producing no essential foods (mostly junk), we will have a lot more space and resources to grow only what we need.
Which is supply chain, trucking, and distribution in an organized manner. And food production? How about food price rises in the last four years in North America? I could see it coming long before inflation, Covid, or weather issues. It's been coming for four years.
@@griffincypert2900 Farmed fish are fed fish meal, which is ground up fish that are caught from the seas and oceans. Farmed fish don't actually help the marine ecosystems, read up on the use of fish meal to feed farmed fish. Most people think fish farming helps the wild population of fish but actually it is highly destructive. Large trawlers use drag nets to scrape the sea floor and catch everything, destroying the marine ecosystem in the process. Chinese and other asian companies use these methods.
Mass feeding and fish pooping in a concentrated area and large numbers of the fish die because of it and other environmental effects which further add to the pollution
I think, to ship this thing takes time. But to build this structure locally, you'll need time + money + technology to get the factory done, before you can build this giant machine.
Construction is thousands of work hours, shipping is a couple tug boats for 3 months, a pay raise of 5% for the workers constructing it is much more significant than the cost of shipping. Shipping costs are insignificant, which is why pears are grown in Chile, packaged in China and sold in USA.
@@freedomfighter22222 Your statement takes it to a whole new level with pears being, well perishable. But I can totally see how shipping pales in comparison to labor costs…
@@KarmaticEvolution yeah I don't remember what channel it was from, but it's an example I heard of some years ago and it is actually a thing, might have been processed in some way, I just remember the video I saw showed packages of pears in US shops labeled "for sale in USA, grown in Chile and packaged in Vietnam(or somewhere indochina)" It was from a youtube video about global trade, it's just the stupidest example I know off.
My neighbor was formally head of the dept of fisheries, he told me wild fish populations are not in decline. When WWF and other entities say it is, it’s just propaganda for a variety of reasons, just depends who they represent at the time.
I was about to write this as well. Their bullshit about fish populations in decline is BULLSHIT! A family member of mine has first hand knowledge of the populations of fish around the world. After speaking with him, I found out that there is an actual INCREASE in several species. The rest remain on great levels!
@@DayTradeOptions-METAL Yup, make no mistake, these farms are for three things only: easier, faster, cheaper. The amount of money saved on boats, crew and insurance is astronomical. But nobody wants to say that so they wrap an environmental cause around it and everyone supports it. Farm raised fish just isn’t as high a quality as wild caught. And farm raised fish isn’t good for our oceans long term.
Nothing wrong with Chinese engineering. It’s their quality control and not pulling substandard products in order to keep production numbers up. A leftover mentality from their more communist times.
the irony....the cage was built by a chinese company. And yet the chinese are known for sending vast fleets of fishing vessels who overfish in many locations all around the world.
Fish poop already deposits on the sea floor and creates a whole ecosystem on the sea floor. The farm could be moved a few meters a day to deposit the fish waste more evenly over the ocean.
These have a lot of positives. The main problem I’m sure will be what they feed them. You are what you eat. Look at the difference in the fat ratios for wild verses wild caught. Wild caught is healthy for you and farm raised is bad for you.
Stil not as bad as your average red meat. In time when we don't have choice this would be the answer. But this aren't happening in our generation, yet.
I would like to build similar construction but as a ocean skimmer: to collect plastic and with an onboard recycling system and rugged 3d printer, make a bunch of little skimmers to help rid our waterways of plastic
Upvoted. If China, or any world government, cared about the environment, we would see more solutions such as yours and those being put into practice. Keep your head up, you've got a good one.
also why would production have to increase by 70% to help 15% more people by 2050? This is like they just choose random numbers without doing any research at all fyi, 15% more people means 15% more food production.
The answer may not be so simple. There may well be factors which detract from a one to one farm-to-mouth transmission. Maybe such as; supply chain efficiency, inventory spoilage, geographical and political complexities, distribution challenges, and I'm sure many things I have no idea about.
@@bradsillasen1972 earlier in the video they said that 9.1 billion people would be a 34% increase in population, when it's only like 15% They can't do math right, so I really doubt they can do economics right.
@@Sl4yerkid Good point well taken. I remember that population comment and it did catch my attention but I didn't check the numbers. Seemed like it was basically a big ad for fish farming.
in 2012 the world was making enough food to feed around 30 billion people & that was 10 years ago . My main point is that its not that we don't make enough food its the fact that its overpriced in such a way that turns people off from buying it then its waste. I worked in produce for 5 years if you seen the amount of waste it would make you cry . at the end of the day its all about greed rather then selling the strawberries for a 40-50% mark up just do like a 10% mark up you sell all ur product & people have food . it happens more then you think in 2022 waste waste waste .
Where is the fish farm getting power from? What is the farm feeding the fish? Where does the fish feces go? Answers: The farm would be run on diesel generators with would have to be pumped via a tanker regularly. The formulated fish feed would have to be brought in fresh to feed the fish and is composed of fish meal which is sourced from wild fish stocks. The fish feces passes directly into the ocean untreated so any diseases that the farmed fish catch are transmitted directly to the environment. The reason for the design of this farm is to easily move periodically to comply with environmental laws to reduce the impact on the environment.
I cant imagine this kind of advanced ultra modern technology being implemented in kerala .First officials and politicians wd take a commission from the makers of the machinery ,so the equipment wd be faulty when delivered and installed.second the politician wd instigate the local fisherman against the facility in the name of job loss and wd damage the the whole thing...
This has been implemented by Norwegian Private company not the government. Let us assume if any company try to implement it in Kerala . There will be massive protests by local fisherman supported by political elements . They will end up burning state owned buses and property . And then local politics will throw the company out to secure votes. There are both sides of the coin … I think the democracy works in its own ways
I think the problem isn't so much that we are not producing enough food, in fact I'm like 85% Shure we actually produce enough food to feed the hole of the population with food to spare. The problem is that so much if it goes to waist or is
Thank you for being aware of over fishing of oceanic fish, and taking steps in the right direction. That will lesson the demands of the planet's oceans. Take care and safe and prosperous and God bless amen.
Definitely the last thing id ever eat. Farmed salmon feed is made in a factory, to make the fish appealing they add dye to the food. They contain cancer causing chemicals. uneaten food is released into the sea which poisons the local species. They just engineer fish to look feel and taste however they want it to. DONT EAT IT
Seaspiracy, that movie made me quit eating fish on the spot. I knew fish farms were bad, but the whole sea food industry is way fucked up. All the bullshit that peta has been crying out about the meat industry hasn't really persuaded me to stop eating meat, but that movie really was an eye opener as to what we as consumer allow to do to our planet and other people just because we can't see it directly.
@@svampebob007 not all fishing is like that. Small inshore boats can catch fish like mackerel by hand without anything touching the bottom. Fish and shellfish can be caught by static gear which does no damage to the seabed.
@@michaelfoulis7438 yeah I know there's methods that do not harm the sea fauna/flora, but I have absolutely no trust in any of our industries to actually implement those methods. I'm Norwegian btw, so I can't imagine any of the fish available being sold here being from a small boat catching mackerel by hand, not for those prices. The only fish that I do eat now is the one that my father in law catches here every summer, or the one that me and my brothers catch (every other summer cause we suck at fishing :D )
It all seems pretty cool and sustainable but that's just a trap. What do these fish eat? They eat fish meal based products 99% of the time. So we're still harvesting excessive amounts of fish, for each salmon that is being fed, they have to fish 1000 anchovies. The number is random and so is the species of fish, but you get the idea. Until we have algae farms that are able to produce industrial amounts of algae that can be used to make fish food, this will never be truly sustainable.
Finally, a sane comment. It is pathetic how society seems to embrace ever increasingly technological solutions to keep up our standards of living. Heaven forbid we have to change our behavior. We still want salmon! Even though 10 pounds of fish or other animal products go into every pound of salmon raised. It's like growing tigers for food!
@@latetotheparty184 Definitely. My opinion is that we should invest heavily on algae farms, we can even do that in land facilities and farming algae can be very sustainable. Once we have a reliable way to mass produce it, we can make fish food that is actually sustainable and THEN we can start thinking about this type of things
The problem with this is fish farms are like a self-licking ice cream cone. To feed fish, you need fish. Although these fish are raised in offshore farms, the fish used to feed them likely aren't, so increasing the number of these offshore farms may correlate to increase in demand for coastline fish farms and mass fishing. In the end, this wouldn't solve the problem and only serve to aggravate the issue.
"You are what you eat- literally!" I wonder what they feed these fish, not sure anyone would like the answers or want to eat these things. Nice 100% company promo!
I heard some amazing stats about how everyone in the world could be fed if we were vegetarian. That raising the crops needed to feed the animals we raise for meat is much much more than we ourselves would need to eat.
vegetarians are worst farms and or vegetable related farms kill more then meat eaters, example farm take up countrysides rainforests as a result theres less insects check ur windowscrean on ur car less wild life plus farmers kill the animals that try to eat them vegetables plus British cant be vegetarians cuz we have winter so no vegetables only meat was available shows how bad education is now
@@carpenterfamily6198 im not joking. The only things plants produce that should be eaten by humans is fruit. Leafs and roots have toxins. Just because society has been eating veggies because theyre easy to produce and cheap doesn't make it more healthy.
Being vegetarian only addresses one problem -environmental problems relating to meat productions. However there many other problems that is caused by mono culture. Plus if we all ate only plants, there isnt enough space to grow food since plants are low in nutrients for the long term developments of humans.
Theres a problem, either they feed the fish fish food which takes up alot of cropland and whould make it more unsustainable than regular fishing, or they have to be fed with wild fish, 1kg wild salmon per 3kg wild fish fed, and it whould still require mass fishing
The same people who think it is ok to feed cows the ground up bones of sheep and other despicable animal fall-offs. News flash: cows are PURE plant eaters! Not only that, they are pure GRASS eaters. Their digestive system cannot handle anything else without harm to the cows. That's why the cows are stuffed with antibiotics, anti-bloating drugs and lots of other drugs. All of this ends up in the milk, or in the meat people eat. Oh yeah, that's so healthy! Does anybody know that cows only lactate when they have given birth to a calf? Cows do not naturally give milk year round. In order to have them do that, it is necessary to give them hormones. Guess where these end up?
By raping, sieving and scraping the World's littoral zones, for cheap food at enormous ecological and social damage to sustainable traditional fishing operations. This should be closed down and all fish farming be conducted in closed contained fish production units on land, the feed being the larvae of the Black Soldier Fly. This offshore operation is nothing short of criminal.
Brazil could be a possible sources for aquaculture feed and it would be in the form of pellets. They have a big aqua farming culture. Probably 3rd or 4th after China and Indonesia for tilapia fish farming. I believe shrimp farming is also very big in the northeast part of Brazil. Other sources of fish feed could be Ireland and then Netherlands.
super cool. i still want to see seaweed, muscle farming interspersed between these things. that way it cleans the water better and makes a more diverse food supply as well. im sure someday
I had bouillabaisse for dinner. With snapper I caught Tuesday 7× 2 kilo fish in 10 casts with a softbait , and mussels which are farmed in huge (thousands of acre) farms in coromandel New Zealand

@@zoidburg2975 the global population grew in 2020, and will continue to grow for the next 40 years. As long as humans number in the 8 billions range, we don’t need more.
It is "cleaner" not as in free of lice but as in a fish that has the job of cleaning, it's not salmon but other types of bottom feeder fish that eat small insects like lice. The "cleaner fish" is basically a janitor going around picking lice of the salmon.
I was talking to some unemployed lefty zoologist who was adamant, this kind of solution was not viable, her "solution" was people should eat less fish, what a great idea..
I like this idea and it looks all flashy and nice, BUT: As stated one farm might produce up to 1.5 Million fish per year. Which means in theory, if out of 8 Billion people every single one eats only ONE fish per year we’d already need +5000 of such farms to fully meet the demand. Just to produce one fish per person. Global production of fish in 2019 was ~170million tons. If we estimate one fish to weigh around 4kg on average, (Which is probably a very generous guess, correct me if you know I’m wrong) we’d need over 28000 of such farms to meet demand. Even if “only” half of humanities demand for fish was met with such farms we’d still need 14000 of them. You tell me wether that’s realistically or not.
@N. Warner I didn’t say that is the case, just a possibility. Even if it was just 1.5 million fish a year, if they can do it without the usual environmental damage then it’s good. Though the video is light on details there.

Every resources are dependent on health of our planet. Over consumption and wastage disturbs and causes disbalance. To avoid this some limitations are needed.
Even today at 8 billion nobody truly knows how we will feed everybody in a sustainable fashion and without further losses in biodiversity. In fact there are very good reasons to believe that we are already too many: in past decades with our hunting, overharvesting, introducing invasive species to the wild, polluting, and changing wetlands and forests to croplands and urban areas, it is factually documented that we caused countless other species to become extinct. How about we slowly begin to move away from social welfare et economic schemes that are depending on population growth - and are thus anyway doomed in the long term - and instead limit our reproduction to achieve a truly sustainable global population which can strive in harmony with other species. Thanks to medical science, mankind is the only species on earth that can actually limit its size painlessly.
If going "inside" the worlds biggest fish farm, it'd be a great idea to dive deeper than the owner supplied marketing material.

We also face issues with soil depletion , Indians always knew how to cultivate Terra Petra we never had to teach them to even plant corn they already knew despite the history books painting a different picture. We know we can grow Grass through hydroponics. The laws are opening up for Aquaculture to be organic. Before it was like a war. Control is really what it's about. Milk and other dairy products are the top source of saturated fat in the American diet, contributing to heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease. Studies have also linked dairy to an increased risk of breast, ovarian, and prostate cancers. Researchers tested popular fast food items like hamburgers, pizza and burritos for traces of phthalates.
High levels of phthalates have been linked to fertility issues, asthma and cognitive development problems in children.
well said!
Correct. truly sustainable fish farms will have to basically "farm an eco system" in the ocean and not just the fish. In nature, each eco system looks after everything in it. Not just one specie in that system.
Isn't having something moored in one place just adding fish poop in one place? Tons and
tons of it? And where does the feed come from and what happens to the onboard fish
waste? Very light on meaningful data.
The Norwegian sea has an average depth of 1600 meters, the point about these constructions is to move the farms out onto those kinds of depths where sea currents will scatter the waste of the fish into an area so large that it has no more concentration of fish poop than any other parts of the ocean.
It is a problem for fish farms in still shallow waters and exactly what this thing aims to tackle.
All sounds good until you go diving under it. Salmon feed is laced with growth hormones.
This should be properly labelled as an advertisement.
And the good thing, for the owners, with such farm in the open see is that if they pollute the environment, nobody will be there to witness it and complain about it. And by the time we realize that it is the case it will be very hard to pinpoint which fish farm is the source of the pollution.
pollute with what?
@@lazarduke6596 lol. Food I guess
@@lazarduke6596 Good question. I don't know much about fish farming, but unnatural population densities as in those enclosures may have multiple impacts. I'd want to know the effects of the following over time; hypertrophic contamination from artificial food stuffs, contaminant residuals from artificial food stuffs (hormones, residual pesticides etc.), escapees and genetic dilution/pollution of natural populations, pathogenic densities resultant of dense populations and attendant stressors, etc. etc. etc.
@@lazarduke6596 if you search fish farm pollution you will get: nitrate, pesticide, antibiotic and more.
@@lazarduke6596 It's own presence, for one. Pollution should be the least concern. The fact is that China has found another environmentally damaging method for making money and it's a win-win for the already huge overfishing economy in Norway.
You should cover food waste in one of your videos. Increasing food supply to combat food needs is great and all, but food waste is also a real issue.
Food waste is just food for another part of the ecosystem.
If everybody grew one plant there'd be no problem. Man look at all the grass everywhere. Switch to small gardens
The reality is that there is a lot food out there but a lot of is actually not essential. If we can just stop eating and producing no essential foods (mostly junk), we will have a lot more space and resources to grow only what we need.
Which is supply chain, trucking, and distribution in an organized manner. And food production? How about food price rises in the last four years in North America? I could see it coming long before inflation, Covid, or weather issues. It's been coming for four years.
Awesome because the only thing that pollutes the oceans more than commercial fishing is fish farming
Sorry dumb question but how does it pollute more?
@@griffincypert2900 Farmed fish are fed fish meal, which is ground up fish that are caught from the seas and oceans. Farmed fish don't actually help the marine ecosystems, read up on the use of fish meal to feed farmed fish. Most people think fish farming helps the wild population of fish but actually it is highly destructive. Large trawlers use drag nets to scrape the sea floor and catch everything, destroying the marine ecosystem in the process. Chinese and other asian companies use these methods.

Construction is thousands of work hours, shipping is a couple tug boats for 3 months, a pay raise of 5% for the workers constructing it is much more significant than the cost of shipping.

It was from a youtube video about global trade, it's just the stupidest example I know off.
My neighbor was formally head of the dept of fisheries, he told me wild fish populations are not in decline. When WWF and other entities say it is, it’s just propaganda for a variety of reasons, just depends who they represent at the time.
I was about to write this as well. Their bullshit about fish populations in decline is BULLSHIT! A family member of mine has first hand knowledge of the populations of fish around the world. After speaking with him, I found out that there is an actual INCREASE in several species. The rest remain on great levels!
@@DayTradeOptions-METAL Yup, make no mistake, these farms are for three things only: easier, faster, cheaper. The amount of money saved on boats, crew and insurance is astronomical. But nobody wants to say that so they wrap an environmental cause around it and everyone supports it. Farm raised fish just isn’t as high a quality as wild caught. And farm raised fish isn’t good for our oceans long term.

Only problem is all the fish shit drops to the ocean floor out come is Dead Sea floor
Fish poop already deposits on the sea floor and creates a whole ecosystem on the sea floor. The farm could be moved a few meters a day to deposit the fish waste more evenly over the ocean.

Better to watch the video with sound off.
in 2012 the world was making enough food to feed around 30 billion people & that was 10 years ago . My main point is that its not that we don't make enough food its the fact that its overpriced in such a way that turns people off from buying it then its waste. I worked in produce for 5 years if you seen the amount of waste it would make you cry . at the end of the day its all about greed rather then selling the strawberries for a 40-50% mark up just do like a 10% mark up you sell all ur product & people have food . it happens more then you think in 2022 waste waste waste .
Where is the fish farm getting power from? What is the farm feeding the fish? Where does the fish feces go? Answers: The farm would be run on diesel generators with would have to be pumped via a tanker regularly. The formulated fish feed would have to be brought in fresh to feed the fish and is composed of fish meal which is sourced from wild fish stocks. The fish feces passes directly into the ocean untreated so any diseases that the farmed fish catch are transmitted directly to the environment. The reason for the design of this farm is to easily move periodically to comply with environmental laws to reduce the impact on the environment.
Are the faeces of the fish in the open sea treated before they pass to the open sea. Humanity is going insane.
Easy fix .. blow up every single Kung-Flu fishing boat. That would increase stocks by 5000%
I cant imagine this kind of advanced ultra modern technology being implemented in kerala .First officials and politicians wd take a commission from the makers of the machinery ,so the equipment wd be faulty when delivered and installed.second the politician wd instigate the local fisherman against the facility in the name of job loss and wd damage the the whole thing...
This has been implemented by Norwegian Private company not the government. Let us assume if any company try to implement it in Kerala . There will be massive protests by local fisherman supported by political elements . They will end up burning state owned buses and property . And then local politics will throw the company out to secure votes. There are both sides of the coin … I think the democracy works in its own ways

This is indeed very cool and needed, but what do we do with that giant metal structure after 25 years? 3:38
It all seems pretty cool and sustainable but that's just a trap. What do these fish eat? They eat fish meal based products 99% of the time. So we're still harvesting excessive amounts of fish, for each salmon that is being fed, they have to fish 1000 anchovies. The number is random and so is the species of fish, but you get the idea. Until we have algae farms that are able to produce industrial amounts of algae that can be used to make fish food, this will never be truly sustainable.
Finally, a sane comment. It is pathetic how society seems to embrace ever increasingly technological solutions to keep up our standards of living. Heaven forbid we have to change our behavior. We still want salmon! Even though 10 pounds of fish or other animal products go into every pound of salmon raised. It's like growing tigers for food!
@@latetotheparty184 Definitely. My opinion is that we should invest heavily on algae farms, we can even do that in land facilities and farming algae can be very sustainable. Once we have a reliable way to mass produce it, we can make fish food that is actually sustainable and THEN we can start thinking about this type of things
Exactly, fish eat other fish which mean these farms are not helping the world's oceans at all.
This Yang Zhi Gang is obviously Jackie Chan in disguise.
The problem with this is fish farms are like a self-licking ice cream cone. To feed fish, you need fish. Although these fish are raised in offshore farms, the fish used to feed them likely aren't, so increasing the number of these offshore farms may correlate to increase in demand for coastline fish farms and mass fishing.
In the end, this wouldn't solve the problem and only serve to aggravate the issue.

@@xcrypt4378 fish meal comes from other fish - salmon don't do well with cereal based pellets.

@@carpenterfamily6198 im not joking. The only things plants produce that should be eaten by humans is fruit. Leafs and roots have toxins. Just because society has been eating veggies because theyre easy to produce and cheap doesn't make it more healthy.
Being vegetarian only addresses one problem -environmental problems relating to meat productions. However there many other problems that is caused by mono culture. Plus if we all ate only plants, there isnt enough space to grow food since plants are low in nutrients for the long term developments of humans.
Theres a problem, either they feed the fish fish food which takes up alot of cropland and whould make it more unsustainable than regular fishing, or they have to be fed with wild fish, 1kg wild salmon per 3kg wild fish fed, and it whould still require mass fishing
Who puts tomatoes inside a fish? That’s just insanity.
The same people who think it is ok to feed cows the ground up bones of sheep and other despicable animal fall-offs. News flash: cows are PURE plant eaters! Not only that, they are pure GRASS eaters. Their digestive system cannot handle anything else without harm to the cows. That's why the cows are stuffed with antibiotics, anti-bloating drugs and lots of other drugs. All of this ends up in the milk, or in the meat people eat. Oh yeah, that's so healthy! Does anybody know that cows only lactate when they have given birth to a calf? Cows do not naturally give milk year round. In order to have them do that, it is necessary to give them hormones. Guess where these end up?
Why not also have a solid (or semi-solid) bottom to recover fish feces to sell as fertilizer?
Where does the fish feed for these gigantic installations come from?
Soy or wheat pellets
The most farmed fish are the vegetarian species. Carp, tilapia, and milk fish.
usually from cheap shreddered fish
By raping, sieving and scraping the World's littoral zones, for cheap food at enormous ecological and social damage to sustainable traditional fishing operations. This should be closed down and all fish farming be conducted in closed contained fish production units on land, the feed being the larvae of the Black Soldier Fly. This offshore operation is nothing short of criminal.
Brazil could be a possible sources for aquaculture feed and it would be in the form of pellets.
They have a big aqua farming culture.
Probably 3rd or 4th after China and Indonesia for tilapia fish farming. I believe shrimp farming is also very big in the northeast part of Brazil.
Other sources of fish feed could be Ireland and then Netherlands.

They would be harvested out along with the farmed fish. Maybe sold for bait or cat food
It is "cleaner" not as in free of lice but as in a fish that has the job of cleaning, it's not salmon but other types of bottom feeder fish that eat small insects like lice.

unfortunately you represent about 0.0001 of the world population. Humans don’t need to eat meat/fish. That would change everything. Good luck to you
I like this idea and it looks all flashy and nice, BUT:
As stated one farm might produce up to 1.5 Million fish per year.
Which means in theory, if out of 8 Billion people every single one eats only ONE fish per year we’d already need +5000 of such farms to fully meet the demand. Just to produce one fish per person.
Global production of fish in 2019 was ~170million tons. If we estimate one fish to weigh around 4kg on average, (Which is probably a very generous guess, correct me if you know I’m wrong) we’d need over 28000 of such farms to meet demand.
Even if “only” half of humanities demand for fish was met with such farms we’d still need 14000 of them.
You tell me wether that’s realistically or not.
Possibly video misquote the data. It is not 1.5 million fishes a year. Rather it is 1.5 million tons of fish.
@N. Warner I didn’t say that is the case, just a possibility. Even if it was just 1.5 million fish a year, if they can do it without the usual environmental damage then it’s good. Though the video is light on details there.

Bruh, brutal stock footage plugs. Wish they had real content as this actually interesting.
Even today at 8 billion nobody truly knows how we will feed everybody in a sustainable fashion and without further losses in biodiversity. In fact there are very good reasons to believe that we are already too many: in past decades with our hunting, overharvesting, introducing invasive species to the wild, polluting, and changing wetlands and forests to croplands and urban areas, it is factually documented that we caused countless other species to become extinct.
How about we slowly begin to move away from social welfare et economic schemes that are depending on population growth - and are thus anyway doomed in the long term - and instead limit our reproduction to achieve a truly sustainable global population which can strive in harmony with other species.
