I was studying to become a fisherman few years ago. In the same school they also teach boat building, environmental studies, fish processing/sale and aquaculture. They had these fish farms all around and we got to see them. Many fish from them escaped the nets and were caught during our studies. None of them were in a healthy or even slightly edible condition. I think aquaculture is wonderful if you're growing seaweed or clams, but fish are way too complex to just jam into a floating net and expect them to thrive. This was just a few years ago in the developed country called Finland and it's not looking good.

In Finland escaped fish most probably were salmons right? They probably had sea lice, it is natural in livestock farms to have outbreaks, salmon is the one animal product with the lowest antibiotics use compared to lamb for example (at least in Norway), everything is too complex, if we give up on everything then now we wouldn't have the internet etc

I agree that I think that many of the fish come out in very bad shape but I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that so many companies are really pushing how many fish they can push in the cage, the lack of rest time the waters have between farming and also just not very habitable waters since many companies do not clean the cages all that often. With care I'm convinced that fish farming can produce fine fish but most people involved are not educated enough on the fish they are farming wich leads to unhealthy fish.

You missed one. There are inherent dangers in mass farming of any species. Quality of the product, diseases, and environmental degradation to name a few. This is because most farmed animals are isolated in single a space and have limited movement. A company (forgot where I saw the documentary) has developed geodesic cages that travel with the farmed fish. Instead of isolated colonies with large population densities per cubic foot, you have manageable AND economical population sizes that have a very wide range of movement and are significantly healthier than the fish from practical aquaculture. If I find the video I'll post a link. Otherwise great video!

Commercial salmon fisherman here, Alaska. What they aren’t telling you are the dark sides to salmon aquaculture, mainly, parasites and disease, as well as environmental harm. Norway, by far the largest salmon farmers, battle sea lice problems constantly. Aquaculture is definitely the future, it just won’t be as “rosy” as this video illustrates it to be. Coincidentally, my particular fishery, Bristol bay sockeye salmon, are having RECORD large runs per the last few years with this year predicted to be by far the largest in history. So go buy some wild salmon people! Doesn’t get any healthier or tastier!!!!

Great to hear! What other future technology are you most excited about?

IMHO, all of these technologies are worthy of continuous study as they are improvements on the status quo. However, as some have mentioned in part below. What we need to do is consider multitrophic production instead of the current industrial monogenetic production idealogy. A trophic layer could be understood as a link or level n the old food chain theory, which is now a food web. This technology is called IBS, or integrated bio-system. An integrated bio-system is simply using nature's nutrient flow so that the waste of one crop, feeds the production of another crop...therefore no waste. Producing a maximum yield without pollution. Aquaponics: Raising fish and using processed excrements to grow plants: is an example of the most basic integrated bio-system. This isn't a new concept. This technology has been used for thousands of years throughout Asia and even in the Middle East as well as South America. In Asia, it is still common to see fish ponds fed by livestock droppings and or fruit trees surrounding the pond. An example of multitrophic ocean IBS might include A. Producing feed from a waste source. B. Target crop. Then C. Waste using crops like crustaceans and bivalves. Seaweed or Algeas can be grown to purify water. I believe this would work best in contained environments, using semipermeable membranes to let in pure water and filter out everything else, in a recirculating system.

I'd rather prefer the multi-story farm. Having a very intensive aquaculture system in the open waters is going to bring about serious pollution. Except if another innovation can be put in place to curb the pollution

@jackwilson9204

The large thing about open ocean is ocean currents are much stronger plus being in deeper water give longer time for waste dispersal. Not that there aren't problems. But looking at campanies like NZ king salmon who sent just putting it deep but are looking at all current flows to see where would make the least to no damage to the ecosystem

Thanks for the wonderful and interesting video! I agree with the potential of marine aquaculture. If you look at the Earth from space, 70% of it is the ocean. However, most of them depended on land. Currently, various technologies for efficient utilization in the sea are being developed. From the appropriate environment (water temperature, depth, etc.) in aquaculture major fish species Estimating the potential of sponge aquaculture, its scale is equivalent to that of current production in the global coastal region alone. Anything over 1000% is abstract In the future, rapid growth is expected, such as prevention of sea pollution and the entry of large-scale corporate aquaculture.

The best way to protect the eco system of our oceans. In this way we can save the whole marine life of our oceans. God help us to take such positive steps. Waheed from pakistan.

Experimenting with this. The key to me is reusing water. Cleaning it. Which I learned how to do. Hence this can even be done where there is very little fresh water. We don't actually need new water in system. In fact basis aquarium tech scaled works excellent.

The biggest problem with the salmon farms is the sea live infestations they get. This means that the water is pumped full of chemicals which makes the meat toxic to eat. If this problem can be sorted for good in a safe way forever, that would get the biggest problem out the way. Also the dye in their food changes the colour of their skin, they are naturally red from the food they eat, the chemical in their food makes them orange like. If this is changed also to them eating a diet of insects and small fish, that would make it safer for human consumption too as the dye they use is also toxic. These things together will ensure that Salmon farming is much better for the future

Very good & innovative it's was save nature sea environment

Good job. Im student at Ocean university of Sri Lanka. It was very helpful for my assignment.

my small suggestion is that instead of filtering the water they can use hydroponics which will help in cleaning the water as well as reduce the filtration cost and they can make profit by selling the plants

I’m truly confident that this approach can and will solve to a significant degree the issue of overfishing etc. I pray for its development and successful implementation.

I worked in a state fish hatchery for many years - many years ago. The hatchery I worked at was the most technologically advanced in the world at that time. We were raising fish for stocking lakes, not for food so there are different concerns. This just looks extremely expensive when the goal is only fish to eat. When raising fish for the table you don't have to be concerned with genetics, so it is very easy to inbreed fish.

I love seafood. When we went into COVID isolation and I am not saying I did not suck. The world got a glimpse of how animals reclaimed areas in the world. Imagine if we left fish alone for 5 years. With that when we come back to seafood for a few years then break for 5 years. Just to get back the environment

Wow I took these photos

There's one solution to keeping the ocean healthy - leaving it alone.

Seafood and aquaculture are the future by its tinier carbon footprint compared to beef. And I say that as an Albertan with family in the biz... Also why I prefer shrimp and salmon to steak most days...

How can we cut feed costing which is 70% of production.what is the substitute.

The only thing which says no to this is cost..

I guess people will take a pick when that comes: pay cheap for fish from the hands of rich folk investing on this, or pay more expensive to the fishermen who depend on it to make a living. I can see Amazon, Microsoft and alike owning things like this (through a web of shelf companies and other hiding mechanisms) in the future and i don't like that.

In addition to helping to conserve marine species in the wild, this model is also very profitable if it is taken seriously.

There is another way: raise fish along with their feedstocks in ocean-going vessels. This addresses several problems. Wastes don’t accumulate in coastal waters, but are distributed just as they are in nature. By using multitrophic growth chambers, no depletion of other species results. Meaning, one grows the food for each trophic layer within the same system. Initially, such vessels might be refitted oil tankers. Such vessels can be powered by wind capturing devices and so remain on-station at negligible energy cost until target species is mature. Being on-station in ocean currents, and using these currents to supply flow-through fresh waters, no post process water needs cleaning. If care is taken to use wild stock for each species of the trophic layers, the disruption of natural genetic diversity in the total ecosystem is prevented. If this approach is verified, special purpose vessels better suited to the process could be developed, possibly made of ferro-concrete or electro-deposited calcite on conductive mesh, both proven technology.

I like to try that method

interesante

These are brilliant innovations. The first one, the effect of the use of fungi as fish feed should be checked thoroughly and also the sustainability of all the innovations

This earth is so big i think food should be very cheap here..

Open cages would still pollute the surrounding waters. The multi-story RAS system will cost a lot of energy which is not sustainable either. Although these technologies can help a lot for trophic food level, space efficiency, and disease screaning respectively they definately do not solve all problems.

Come to the great lake lots of business needs to be done here

I think this will be the future of seafood. It looks well maintained. I think this is important to the humans. 👍

thats should world think about it

Make more food and humans make more humans an endless cycle. Species population growth is directly tired to the amount of food available. There is no shortage just food waste and more people the the environment can support.

The Recyrculating aquaculture system is the best but maintenance server its to hight

This all sounds great. BUT, it's to little to late for many species. What is really needed is to stop the illegal fishing by certain countries. It's time for the world to wake up and realize over fishing is a global problem.

the problem with the fish farms is the fish are still exposed to the crap in the water. They are fed what ever you feed them and not natural food they would find in the ocean. The circle of life only gets its nutrients from corporate sources. The best foods are from the ocean and give the salmons the flavor.... not fish pellets.

Interesting video. I wish you would stop being so one sided and discuss the downsides to this sort of practice rather than just the benefits. Things such as waste disposal. Millions of fish produce mountains of waste (faeces) that can cause enormous damage to the marine environment - such as the marine deserts now created in Tasmania caused by the overfarming of atlantic salmon in Tasmania. Not to mention diseases and parasites that invariably arise and multiply in all monocultures of plants or animals. Have we not learnt from the days of simply using the oceans as our toilet before secondary and tertiary treatment of sewage became the norm ?

I just love me some artificially colored salmon while supporting confined breeding grounds for disease and parasites where wild fish swim. Governments need to spend money on hatcheries increasing wild stock
