Some of the fish fed to the bluefin tuna in these farms are endangered species that were fished up and can't be sold on the open market legally. So these tuna farms are used to launder these endanged fish. All because these farms want to run as cheaply as possible. These farms could be profitable and sustainable but greed gets in the way.
Can you state your source and the types of endangered fish? Tuna and other types of fish farms are global, and am guessing netting is the main source of the 'fish food" imagine there are some exotics and endangered, but is it the main source? Love to know more.
Whale Facts here: For potentially dangerous fare (aka "prey") like stingrays, orcas engage in an orca-strated strategy that involves merry-go-rounding the target and slapping it repeatedly until it's edible (deceased).
Yep. Humans have strip mined the oceans for all the big fish that taste good. Then, when we've virtually eliminated them we start farming the few that were suitable for aquaculture. This means we have to strip mine the oceans for the smaller 'bait fish' to feed the farms. I don't like the way this spiral is headed.
We’ve already fished out 80% of the fish biomass in the oceans. Where that spiral is going, we’re already there. We are the next great extinction event.
we can actually "grow" feed fish like tilapia or catfish in pounds fed by insects, which are fed from food waste. It's fairly common in Asia. We can also use the fish fertilizer produced by the tilapia to feed plants through an aquaponics system. There are ways to do this sustainably, the capitalist elite just want to tell you there aren't because it's not as cheap.
That's true and our country's government owned research body is actively developing fish food from waste biomass and other sustainable sources. I don't share your paranoia about the 'capitalist elite' though. The problem is more that the corporate structure doesn't favour innovation when there are plentiful free resources. Hence corporations will keep pillaging the oceans until there's nothing left to pillage. That behaviour will only change when the resource disappears or becomes too costly.
Because you need to feed animals to make them grow? Tuna are predators. We're keeping and growing predators for consumption because we like their meat more.
So which endangered fish do they feed them? Australian fishing laws might not be perfect but I'm certain endangered fish are not on the approved list of species to catch.
If you catch those tuna in the wild they would have eaten the same. People like their taste and in general smaller non predator fish have a different taste.
Yes but for wild tuna you don't need tons of industrial fish flinging equipment to put fish we spent resources fishing out of the ocean back into the ocean to feed the tuna.
