I've been excited about aquaculture for a long time, but now it's no longer the Next Big Thing: it's the
current big thing. I'm not saying that all aquaculture is great- look no further than the devastating "
marea roja" in Chile last month, which led the loss of 100,000 tons of farmed salmon. However, if done properly, aquaculture has a better chance of being sustainable than do most capture fisheries, IMHO.
