Culturing paddlefish fingerlings at kentucky wastewater treatment plant

摘要

Aquaculture is "the world's fastest growing food producing sector" according to the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization, and nearly half of the food fish consumed in the world are now grown rather than captured in the wild. This trend will likely continue since it is predicted that by 2030, an additional 40 million metric tons of aquatic food will be required just to maintain current consumption levels. The only option is aquaculture.
