Briefly discuss some disadvantages of aquaculture
What will be an ideal response?
Dense concentrations of farmed aquatic animals can increase the incidence of disease, which reduces food security, necessitates antibiotic treatment, and results in additional expense. Aquaculture can also produce high amounts of waste from the farmed organisms and from the large portion of feed that goes uneaten and decomposes in the water column. Farmed aquatic fish and other organisms are often fed grain or ocean-caught fish, affecting food supplies and wild fish populations. If farmed aquatic organisms escape where they are not native, they can cause unpredictable harm by spreading disease or outcompeting native organisms.
