SHOULD WE FARM FISH

Untitled Slide

• Fish farming is a form of aquaculture, while other methods may fall under mariculture. It involves raising fish commercially in tanks or enclosures, usually for food.
• There are many types of fish farms in Australia like Tuna farming, catfish farming and trout farming.
• Locations
• Western Australia Nishikigoi farm

LOCATONS

• Western Australia Nishikigoi farm: Piara Waters WA
• Narrabri Fish farm: Jacks Creek NSW
• Eucumbene Trout farm: Rocky Plain NSW

IMPACTS ON BIODIVERSITY MAINLY MY SALMON

• Salmon farming is one of the most harmful aquaculture production systems. The industry uses open net-cages placed directly in the ocean, where farm waste, chemicals, disuse and parasites are released directly into the surrounding waters harming other marine life.

FISH THAT ARE AT RISK OF FISH FARMING

• Their are many fish that have turned endangered due to fish farming and overfishing.
• 10. Orange Roughy 3. Sea Bass
• 9. Eel 2. Sturgeon
• 8. Haddock 1. Bluefin Tuna
• 7. Halibut
• 6. Atlantic Cod
• 5. Skate
• 4. Atlantic Salmon

ADVICE

• I would say to the Australian government that if they are going to start fish farming they should only fish certain types of fish and only farm fish in their habitat so they don't risk diseases spreading to other fish in other areas and risking endangerment.
