Aquaculture has been one of the fastest growing segments of global food production in recent decades, and has been hailed as an answer to declining wild fish stocks caused largely by overfishing.
In countries like the U.K., Canada, Norway, and ChileThe word chile may also refer to Chilli pepper. The Republic of Chile is a republic located on the southwestern coast of South America. It is a long and narrow piece of land between the Andes mountains and the Pacific Ocean. It shares borders with Argenti, salmon and troutThis article is about fish. The Trout Quintet is a work by Schubert. Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Trout is the common name given to a number of species of freshwater fishes belonging to the salmon family, Salmonidae''. All fish properly called trout farming are one of the fastest-growing forms of agricultureFarming, ploughing rice paddy, in Indonesia Agriculture is the process of producing food, feed, fiber and other desired products by cultivation of certain plants and the raising of domesticated animals (livestock). Agriculture is also known as farming .. Salmon farming, like other food producing operations such as beef, wheat or tomatoes can impact the environment. Like other agriculture production, it must stand up to a rigourous evaluation of any environmental impact. Salmon aquaculture has come under increasing scrutiny from environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGO's). In Canada, salmon farming sites occupy a small portion of the coastal zone areas where they are located. The total area occupied by Canadian salmon farms in British Columbia and the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick is about 8,900 acreas which is less than 0.01% of the coastal area where these sites are located.
Wild Pacific and Atlantic salmon stocks have seen significant declines over the last several decades, before salmon farming operations started. These declines were caused by a combination of factors including climate change, overfishing and freshwater habitat destruction. Canadian salmon farmers have significantly reduced the escape of their salmon. The evidence shows that the escape of farmed salmon on Canada's west coast poses low risk to Pacific salmon, however concerns have been raised on the East coast that wild Atlantic salmon may interbreed with salmon that escape from farms.
Many farmed fish species are carnivorousCarnivores are animals that eat a diet consisting mostly of meat. Also, the word could refer to the mammals of the Order Carnivora, many (but not all) of which fit the first definition. Here is a list below that includes animals that are unable to chew an, meaning that other wild fish species must be overfished to maintain the fish farm.
Other problems with aquaculture include the potential for increasing the spread of unwanted invasive speciesPatterson's Curse infest the Warrumbungle National Park in New South Wales''. A species is regarded as invasive if it has been introduced by human action to a location, area, or region where it did not previously occur naturally (i. is not native), become, as farmed species are often not native to the area in which they are farmed. When these species escape, they can compete with native species and damage ecosystems. Another problem is the spread of introduced parasites, pests, and diseases.
