Inside The World's Biggest Fish Farm

By 2050, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations predicts that the world's population will reach 9.1 billion people. This is 34% more than it is today. To eliminate mass hunger, food supplies must grow at a faster pace, and world food production must increase by 70%. Current methods of fish farming will not be able to meet the global demand for fish safely and sustainably. In this video, we will tell you how the new largest and most complex fish farm in the world works, and whether similar technologies are able to provide us with food in the future. Wild fish stocks are declining at a rapid pace. The World Wildlife Fund estimates that 53% of the fishing grounds are fully developed, and the global fleet of fishing vessels is two to three times higher than the sustainable state of the world's seas and oceans. If we do not cut back fishing in the very near future, then all types of wild commercial fish could disappear by the middle of the century.

If going "inside" the worlds biggest fish farm, it'd be a great idea to dive deeper than the owner supplied marketing material.

Very good promo for both companies, but I would have liked to have seen more how it operates

In 2021 world pop. was around 7.5 to 7.8 billion. If it reaches 9.1 billion in 2050, it's not 34% more than the actual pop.
9.1 - 7.5 = 1.6 =》 1.6 / 7.5 × 100 = 21.33%.

So the same Norwegian salmon reported to be one of the worst foods to eat? If that report was accurate, what's the point of continuing the practice... And what's the point of this lie filled video

Fish farming still leaves me puzzled as to the logic: fishing wild fish to make dehydrated fish powder to feed fish farming, hence depleting reserves of of (poor) local population who rely on artisanal small-scale fishing.

I wanted to know more about the fish farm. Instead I was told about global food shortages, too many fishing boats, fish farms that destroy the environment, etc. The actual content for this 7 minute video starts at 2:30. All i wanted to know was how this worked and i got no answers.

It's less an issue of food production and more of food waste, imo.

[CharlieDof]

Toward the end I felt like they were trying to sell me an automatic fish farm

[steveyountz]

Isn't having something moored in one place just adding fish poop in one place? Tons and
tons of it? And where does the feed come from and what happens to the onboard fish
waste? Very light on meaningful data.

After spending 30 years in the fish business. We quit buying Norwegian salmon because of the antibiotics they used that could adversely hurt humans. I did not hear them address this problem. Sea lice are common on most marine species

2:22 - It is out of this world that shipping this behemoth that far is still more cost effective than building this structure locally.

Norwegian salmon fish farms are not farms. They are oceanic feed lots. A mussel or oyster farm is a farm. It utilizes the production of the ocean's primary production to produce a produce a product just as a sheep farm, which only uses the grass produced on the farm, produces a product. A Norwegian, so called, fish farm uses fish meal from fish caught, mainly off the coast of Peru and products from land farms to make a fish feed which is all the fish eat. And here is the kicker. You may have heard that when feeding fish (or chickens or other animals) you get a 2:1 conversion factor. In other words a kg of fish food produces half a kg of fish (some of which is bone, guts and other waste). Absolutely true in a commercial sense. You pay a certain amount per kg of fish food and get so much per kg for your fish. But biologically it is a myth. The food is dry, typically under 7% water, while the fish is wet, typically over 80% water. Do the actual math and you will find that only about 10% of the feed becomes fish, just as you were taught in biology. It takes a ton of phytoplankton to make 100kg of zooplankton which makes 10kg of penguin, which makes 1kg of leopard seal. Which means that 90% of the food you feed to the fish goes into the water as faces, urine and exhaled carbon dioxide. That is why the oceanic feed lots are so so polluting. We would be better off to find neat ways to eat the anchovy which are fished off the coast of Peru and to eat the land based components of the fish feed.

Norwegian salmon are the most posionous fish found today. We have global reports on that. Profit over health is motto of most agri businesses.

[smellslikesalmon]

Care about your health and eat wild sockeye from Alaska. Unlike this garbage it’s good for you

[chaoticrealm]

You should cover food waste in one of your videos. Increasing food supply to combat food needs is great and all, but food waste is also a real issue.

[ancientbuilds]

All sounds good until you go diving under it. Salmon feed is laced with growth hormones.

[seabournewolf]

Awesome because the only thing that pollutes the oceans more than commercial fishing is fish farming

[Ihavebeenwatchingyou]

A dairy farmer once told me 'I'm a grass farmer', no grass = no milk, so by the same logic an aquaculture farmer is still a fisherman, no fish as feed = no fish. Aquaculture has just outsourced the feed fishing for image and profit. Intensive corporate farming for profit is the problem not the solution.
