The Socioecological Impact of Aquaculture Imagine for a second what fortunate events have transpired for us to be here today. Our ancestors have had to have been fortunate enough in every aspect of their lives. Luck with regards to their chances of reproduction, hunting, war, and even to engineering their own successes via technologies such as farming. With much focus concentrated on terrestrial crop production and raising mammals, humans eventually started to incorporate the farming of aquatic organisms, too. Going from being a hunter-gatherer and farmer of land, to a hunter gatherer of the sea was a rather substantial historical mark in the history of food production. Growing food rather than relying solely on environmentally organic reproduction

Majority of the wild caught fish caught in the U.S are shipped over seas to be sold and or processed into fish feed. There are certain ethical issues which comes to surface when involved with treating animals poorly when it comes to fish farming. Yet, many organizations are focusing on increasing care of the care of livestock with the goal to provide a better environment and less ecological strain on the wild fisheries population. the alternative diets would require everyone to become vegetarian, with the world’s population projected to reach 10 billion by 2030, becoming vegetarian just would not cut it. Protein is a necessary part of many diets which should be combined with adequate amounts of vegetables. Fortunately, there are many meatless alternatives to choose from for those that think it is not …show more content…
Those with higher economic status can afford to produce more fish. Fortunately, one does not need to be rich in order to achieve great production. Given the model of farming fish in rice fields, fish farming can be quite simple and low effort. With enough space, someone could farm fish in a very healthy manner in their own pond. However, there needs to be more stress on education before beginning a process such as fish farming. In small-scale ponds used for fish faming, it can be seen that the more education a farmer has, the bigger the pond in which the fish which are grown in, thus, the bigger the yield out of the larger pond.
