Mariculture And New Food From The Ocean

The farming of aquatic species for food has been going on for centuries. But both marine fisheries and the farming of marine fish have in the last 2 decades reached critical bottlenecks.  New scientific evidence points to sustainable “culture” (mariculture) and  “capture” (fishing) at lower trophic levels as the way to bring about an increase in food from the ocean,  says a new report from the European Commission entitled Food From The Ocean.
