All these things are spread uniformly around the whole continent.…

These fish farms do add to the global fish market which directly reduces the need for commercial fishing, but also indirectly contributes to the problem of overexploitation, or taking more resources from the ocean than is sustainable. This leads us to ask, which is more…
