Thats an interesting topic of methods of illegal fishing using cyanide and dynamite, I’d never heard of that before, and I agree that is very destructive and should be banned along with dredging and bottom trawling.
Yea I agree that neither fish is suitable and Galtons definition and criteria is clearly flawed when trying to fit in the category of marine animals.
I do agree as well that neither fish is suitable for aquaculture, especially according to Galtons criteria, because it just doesn’t fit any animal that they are born with a liking for man and comfort loving, and both fishes don’t breed freely in captivity, well said.
Yes, we can’t predict the future so it is hard to comprehend and understand what exact things we need to sustain and what in fact even is sustainably, but the most important thing is that we protect our current environment and resources because we can never predict the future.
Your definition of sustainability is equal to mine, I also believe that aquaculture can be used to supply food in a global need. But it is more important to sustain wild populations than to replace them all with farmed fish.
Thats a great outlook on our current food production problems, it is better to find more sustainable ways to produce food, and conserve resources, rather than going straight to farming. Hopefully there will be a shift in the future to this way of thinking.
I agree that genetically engineering salmon is the next step in supplying the demand for salmon, most importantly the global demand for salmon. Finding a better way to farm salmon, especially by creating polyculture environments, could be the next big step in meeting the future seafood demands of the world.
Exactly, introducing these farmed fish is a big controversy. Its more important to keep wild populations stable and heathy, then to create new breeds of fish just for economic gain and production. There are many negatives in bringing these fish into the environments, well said.
Good point on describing how introducing farmed salmon plays such a big role in wiping out wild salmon populations relating to the different genetic structures of the fish. One was created by nature to be part of the perfectly balanced ecosystem, one was created by man where the sole gain is for profit. We need to work better on protecting current populations of wild salmon rather than covering them up with farmed fish and wiping them out.
