Fish farming is a symptom of failing ecosystems. Artifishal tells that story. Overfishing and poor resource management can't be solved by raising fish in tanks or ocean cages. That's a solution to a problem man created that creates more problems.
"Fish are really indicators of water quality. I think about that in terms of the metaphor of the canary in the coal mine. If a miner was descending into a mine and the canary dies, it says to the miner, 'don't go any farther.' Right?
With fish it's like we're descending into that mine, the fish dies, and we just make more of them to put in the cage. It's telling us something. It's saying the environment can't support them. Fix that problem. Don't make more of them. We have to fix the disease, not just manage the symptom, which is a lack of fish. And until we do that, our future for wild fish, and our future for other wild things is in question."
