Fish Farming

5.9 
Advantages 
  • Water quality can be controlled 
  • Predators are removed 
  • Pests can be removed 
  • Disease can be removed or controlled 
    • All these different things contributing to increasing the yield of the fish
It is attractive to farmers as the demand for fish is too much for traditional fishing, also the fish are low in fat, and high in protein and highly efficient at transferring nutrient into fish matter 

However, because of the large masses of fish in a pod, the transmissions of diseases and a number of pesticides greater, since they are closer together and are enclosed in that space. Farmers try to counter this by using antibiotics however this can cause harm to humans who eat the fish and can even cause harm to the environment
