GOOD: Urban Aquaculture
good.is Professor Martin Schreibman says our oceans have been overfished beyond repair. If we’re going to keep eating fish and chips, tuna tartare, and all those omega-3 fatty acids, we may have to rely on aquaculture. Schreibman is working to bring those fish farms into the city. Urban aquaculture? We’ll bite.

Even better than “close to where the product is consumed” would be “grown by the person who is nourished by this life.” Product and Consumer are ugly words.

@coolymcool Fish food is made form fish by products. We go to the ocean to catch fish in order to feed fish.

@willholl69 Geez don’t try to act smart. Hello have you seen the housing cost in NYC? Space is expensive. Greed is good, too much of it is bad. And if you are not greedy. I can spend you a po box to spend me your money.

@willholl69 you talk about greed. Greedy is the person who keeps on wanting to pay less for his food when farmers can’t even make a decent wage and farm workers are imported for cheap labour.
A sustainable system brings decent wages to local people which builds a stronger economy and gives the consumer a better/fresher product because it is bought locally. A win a win situation.

I agree we have overfished our enviroment…. 2 1/2 million taxpayer dollars. Dude! drop off the key, lee. You are part of the problem. Do you know how many people 2 1/2 million dollars will feed? You are a government drain on the economy.

This production should be to improve all no t to increase the gain othe UPPERS!!!

@drahm33 the electricity used to transport fish to the city from farms elsewhere is much more than that required to run a local water pump/filtration system. and fish food is not expensive at all.

I hate aquaculture videos by academics that do not address the cost of electricity or fish food. We live in the real world.

Telapia is banned in Australia unfortunately as a live fish source. But I have seen perch & barramundi live in local fish stores.

Just want to add that you could have save a lot of research by talking to the Chinese farmers who has been using hydroponic system for thousands of years – rice field with carps and shrimps. In fact, my grandfather was farming fishes from mountain spring filled pond that cascade to his vegetable/rice field, which then cascade down to an duck farm, which the waste was dried and used as fertilizer. The ducks loves to hike 300m up to swim at the fish pond and eat insects from the vegetable farm.
