    personally i think fish farming is cost effective, from a protein mass/farming cost ratio standpoint. If big fish benefits the same subsidies as big red meat does, fish farming would be more sustainable and a farmer could use a less denser farm to minimize disease risk, also it would enable him to buy more medicine to fight parasites while maintaining a healthy margin

        The only really sustainable aquaculture products are bivalves and seaweed: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03889-2

        interesting: yea better cut out the middlemen and go straight for the nutrient sources. I am not really informed about the subject but farming fish still seem way less harmful than farming methane emitting cows and mrsa ridden poultry. so bivalves and seaweed it is !
