Predictions come true, aquaculture can come to the rescue
February 3, 2012
The U.S. continues to run a huge trade deficit in seafood, but some important shifts have occurred over the past twelve months. I believe we have reached a tipping point of sorts, one that could mean the world for U.S. aquaculture.

An aquaculture primer: a food production, investment, and conservation message
May 10, 2011
Aquaculture is the wave of the future. We grow our aquatic foods on fish farms, and at the same time preserve wild populations from decimation or extinction. Aquaculture has now come of age as an agricultural pursuit, and as a potential investment.
As the rest of the world “catches up,” U.S. aquaculture will flourish

Is Genetically Altered Fish OK? FDA to Decide | abcnews.go.com
The development of a faster-growing Atlantic salmon has the potential to revolutionize the salmon aquaculture industry. One hitch--the new fish is a genetically modified organism (GMO). Opponents fear genetic and ecological armageddon, but their fears are baseless and not supported by science.
Aquaculture taking the correct steps to repair image
August 12, 2010
Aquaculturists (fish farmers) are becoming more savvy and aware of the role that image and public relations plays in their success or failure. Product and facility certification by an independent party is becoming the norm, and will be with us in the future.
Current trends point to the future of aquaculture

High Mercury Levels Are Found in Tuna Sushi | www.nytimes.com
The health of the U.S. population is in jeopardy from obesity and its related diseases. Eating more fish can be an answer to this epidemic. Eating aquacultured fish can help you avoid contaminants in wild fish and be gentle to the environment at the same time.
Fish farming industry designed to meet future demand
April 11, 2008
Fish farming's growing dangers | www.time.com
Fish farming is too often characterized in a negative light. Without fish farming, the world's oceans would be devoid of fish.
