Food+from+the+Ocean

Aquaculture is a way to deal with the high demand for seafood and is also called “aquafarming.”It is the raising of aquatic plants and animals for human use or consumption. Examples of the sea life that are grown are catfish, salmon, oysters, and shrimps. Many methods may be used to breed fish and seaweed in ocean farms. But although aquaculture is a great way to create food and plants, there is also the major problem of pollution and that the farms may be a source of pollution for the locals. A good thing about aquaculture is that it could produce more food than an agricultural farm of the same size does. An example is that in agriculture only the top layers of soil can be used but in ocean farms they may use soil as deep as they want to produce food. In the future, we hope to be able to pump the nutrient-rich bottom water to the surface as a way of fertilizing aquatic farms. Since aquaculture is becoming an increasingly important source of fish, the need to develop safe and effective drugs for treating fish diseases also increases. Many government agencies and aquaculture associations are working to increase the number of safe and effective drugs that can be used by aqua farmers.

II. Fishing Fishing has become an important industry because of the need and want of this source of food. But when the ocean is over ished without care, fish populations can collapse to the point of extinction. These collapses may damage the ecosystem and weaken the fishing industry. To prevent this, governments have passed a variety of laws to manage fishing.
