Aquaculture - Opportunities for Development

[brad238899]

What's sad is how much tilapia is imported from China to the U.S.. We should be doing this ourselves!

@bemmington Most sea fish can be farmed in the most practical way which is just offshore in large pens in stronger currents to reduce disese. I think shrimp and certain other fish are best farmed in micromanaged environments.

Theres no reason why we cant farm the entire worlds supply of fish in farms.

@hablerz there is, because thats dumb.

[hablerz]

@AbattoirDream Thanks for the intelligent, concise response. What is your solution to overfishing and shortages of quality fish ?

[AbattoirDream]

@hablerz umm.. lets see.. leave them alone maybe? stop dumping shit in the sea..? it hardly matters.. its not up to me or you is it.

[hablerz]

@AbattoirDream Why bother commenting if it hardly matters? , this is an aquaculture forum , therefore i write comments regarding aquaculture.

Many think all you need to do is hook a DC air pump to a solar panel and 12 volt battery to make a solar aerator for aquaculture. Not even close. For the real deal go to 24-7solaraerator.

You don't need access to the sea. You can build farm ponds or artificial tanks.

@sbflash311

not for every type of sea creature. Think about it, what do mussels eat? They eat plankton from the sea. Unless you are willing to make it yourself, you must be next to the sea.

Too bad these people never heard of Will Allen and Growing Power

[drahm33]

@frthrdwnthesprl They are trying to make a profit, growing power gets free money from organization and grants. Will Allen seems to have 50 workers to produce 15,000 pounds of fish.
