Aquaculture and Mariculture
Types of aquaculture
- 1/4 bivalves [1]
- 1/4 seaweed and algae [1]
- Largely produced for chemicals [1]
- 1/2 fish [1]
- salmon
- largest market value produced [1]
- shrimp
- salmon
Potential Mitigation of Over-fishing
- Collection of juvenile from wild or incubating in a hatchery
- Rate of replenishment needs to be sustainable for the ecosystem that the juveniles are collected from [2]
Impacts on Coral
- Current common fishing practice in Indo-Pacific if dropping cyanide in water to stun fish- having disastrous effects on coral [2]
- Coral reefs are used to provide an ecosystem for aquaculture farming. [3]
Problems
Pollution
- Increased pollution along coast from concentration of aquacultures [2]
GMO Salmon
- AquaBoutny Technologies has created a GMO salmon that grows twice as fast as normal salmon and twice as large [5]
- regulation issues
- fear of its escape into the wild
