A High Environmental Cost from Ocean Fish Farms

Current technology does not adequately protect existing ocean resources from harm fish farms seeking to grow fish to market size in open or coastal waters. Species that do not occur naturally in an area should not be considered and neither should genetically-modified fish. They will escape with unpredictable consequences to the local ocean, said Mark Vinsel, ED of the United Fishermen of Alaska. Quote appeared in this Environmental News Service article.
