Fish Farming is excellent but sanitation is very important and must be addressed. We must build very open and large fish farms. Even spreading seed eggs and sending millions of baby fishes out to the open sea to catch later is possible and is one of the cleaner methods. Although it will take much more energy.

@heartlessvietboy Great points. The industry still has room for improvement.

actually, the water stays CLEANER than in the natural water ways because you use LARGE amounts of hydroponic nutrient filtration..which costs nothing to replace and supplies TONS of fresh vegetables. BTW, you speak as if you've done this before...when obviously you are just going around trying to dispel myths and rumors to make it harder for people like me to make a difference in this world. You are what we call a "hater"...suck bawls and die.

Homie is about 10-15 years behind on this "new" method. WOW

Awesome

@copperpaint the positioning of our eyes at the front of our face is a strong suggestion we are predatory animals don't you think?

i do agree with you that western society has a ridiculous view on protein and we eat way to much meat, but supplementing our diet with insect protein would be a very healthy and affordable way to get around the problems conventional farming is causing today

[copperpaint]

@nevyn1 Well I do agree with you that killing fish is not murder etc. I mean if you ever saw a grizzly bear eat salmon you know that nature is not always kind. But from a nutritional point of view meat is not the best source of protein for you body. Human beings are almost exclusively herbivores. This has been proven on many levels. Meat is not the most efficient way for us to get protein. Just the fact that we have to cook it proves that we are not carnivores or omnivores.

@rakelthe1 and i like to call it nature's way of keeping my tummy full and content, i think a fish does not care if it gets caught by a human or a predatory animal(perhaps they even prefer to be caught by us for the slim release chance)but please stop this idiotic banter,i'm not a 'fish-killer' i'm a human being trying to get his much needed protein from a sustainable, safe and affordable source and i really don't give a *** about the KIND of animal, i care about the way it has lived it's life.

Yonatan Zohar didn't invent closed recirculating system any more than Al Gore invented the internet.

[rakelthe1]

Fish are *animals*, just like us (we're not made of mud in the shape of god as we like to think, you know), not a vegetable.

Fishing (that is, fish hunting) is sick, barbaric and bloody MURDER.

@ISRAEL21cdotcom iagree there is room for improvment i think that if you took your technology with greenlearning clip[ then the world could definitely benefit you grow fish to feed the vegetables to make fuel for cars so we wouldnt have to rely on gas.

Aquaponics is definately the way to go, mine is completely selfsufficient, solar powered, uses no herbicides, pesticides, or fertilzer. Once you purchase the intital supplies it has a 0 carbon footprint.
