Second, it would feed growing world populations. Providing a new way to feed populations will reduce pressure on wildlife, since people do not have to hunt food like hunting deer or fishing wild fish. Also, fish farming could increase scientific knowledge since farmed fish could be tested for health, and used for scientific experiments. Therefore, fish farming is beneficial to the world.
Although fish farming help the human population, there are also flaws in the system. First, fish farming could amplify and transfer illness and parasites to wild fishes. Infecting the wild fish population would mean a paramedic spreading through fishes, reducing their population critically. Second, it could unbalance the population of local specimen or migrating fish since wild fish is used to create high protein food pellets. Killing local fish would damage the food chain of that community, and has a chance of ruining the life of local fishermen. Also, fish farming pollutes the water with excess nutrients, antibiotics and chemical agents. To run a fish farm, there would be fish feces, antibiotics for the fish, and chemicals to keep the water clean; however, they would toxicate the water if they pile...
