European report comares relative growth of marine and terrestrial farming

摘要

Agroup of European researchers has recently published a paper outlining the rapid domestication of marine species compared to terrestrial creatures. It shows that development of ocean animals and plants has been far faster and more successful than anything terrestrial. And a co-author of the paper said in interview a few weeks ago that although she expects the rate of development of marine plants and creatures to slow down in the foreseeable future, she and her colleagues are projecting massive expansion of marine aquaculture as an industry over the coming years. She said it is the only environmentally viable and sustainable way for fisheries to go towards addressing the ever-escalating consumer demand for fish products containing healthy Omega-3 fatty acids.
