Good morning, 


Contrary to the general belief about farmed fish being a bad 
thing, the ecological impact of fish farming depends entirely 
on which species are raised, and how and where they are 
raised. 

Fish farming helps to supply the growing global demand for 
seafood while allowing depleted wild fish species to repop-
ulate.  But when you're choosing farmed fish to eat, it is 
ecologically better to choose sustainable freshwater fish, 
such as tilapia, catfish, trout, and striped bass.  These 
fish are farmed inland, eat only plant life, and pose no 
threat to the marine environment. 

Scroll down to read more about the dangerous side of farm 
raised fish. 

Thanks for reading,

Avoid consuming farmed fish that fall into the carnivorous 
category, as these species require massive amounts of wild 
fish for feed, and are raised in areas of the ocean cordoned 
off by nets.  A short list of farmed fish to avoid: 

* Barramundi 
* Branzino 
* Cod 
* Flounder 
* Grouper 
* Halibut 
* Mullet 
* Salmon 
* Seabass 
* Seabream 
* Tuna 
* Turbot 

For every pound of farmed salmon, five pounds of other fish 
are required to raise it.  This is problematic because it 
subtracts from the supply of food that wild salmon depend on 
for survival. 

Furthermore, raising fish in coastal net pens generates a 
serious amount of waste.  Whereas the waste of inland fish 
can be effectively removed through filtration, the waste of 
coastal fish pollutes the water and spreads disease to wild 
fish populations. 

Cutting back or eliminating your consumption of these fish 
species helps to reduce the general demand for them to be 
raised.
