    While in general I am supportive of this stuff, it is a bit of a lie when (12:55) she says "we are not taking from the wild, we're not depleting the wild harvest" when in fact, any of these operations in the open sea are taking large amounts of nutrients and food away from organisms living in those areas naturally, and have other impacts as well. Not to say this is enough reason not to do it or anything, but just thought that it needs to be said. When it comes to the ocean eco-system, creating artificial reefs has been shown to be very productive, and might be a better long-term approach if done correctly and harvested responsibly.

    We should farm more fish in the US, where we can control the quality. This will be very important in the future, as the ocean becomes more inhospitable to native fish.

    Can you talk about the containment breach after the eclipse last summer.
    How many non-native ATLANTIC salmon got released in Washington near Cypress Island?

    Artificial fish habitat introduced into hatchery systems have been shown to produce healthier, stress free fish with higher survival rates, hiding spots to rest, hide and hunt.......Less Stress!

    Another point that should be considered, with the freshwater farms, such as catfish, is if the feed is soybeans and corn, is all the resources involved in growing those crops to feed the fish. This is similar to what is currently done with cattle, pigs, chickens, etc. and not very efficient. Although it may be more efficient with fish (is it??) I still don't think this is the best long-term approach. Some fish, as well as crayfish (etc.) can eat algae, and other vegetable matter that can probably be sourced in a more efficient and economical way than farm products that are not only heavy on the land, use tons of oil and chemicals to produce, deplete topsoil, and so on. Furthermore, since most soy is GMO these days, this fish is not organic, when it could easily be. While catfish probably sell well since they are familiar to Americans, I think at the end of the day, white-fleshed fish, deep fried (as is usually the case) will be acceptable to most people, so perhaps a vegetarian fish with easier or broader food requirements could be substituted.
    I'm fully aware this industry is just getting off the ground, and a lot research is ongoing, and a lot of farmers might even have to take college classes, but I think these are all valid considerations and people need to remains (wide-) open-minded about what might be possible...

    If more would research where consumers seafood came from, and the environment it was raised in, they wouldn't consume it. Take shrimp, for example. 90% of the shrimp sold and consumed here is from places like Indonesia, where there have very little, if any, regulations. Check out tilapia and swai, if you really want an eye opening example.
