There is growing pressure on the worlds fisheries to curb overfishing due to the

long-term harmful effects that short-term greed can cause. One way to satisfy the
world's demand for fish while preserving the environmental balance of sensitive fishing
grounds is the development of aquaculture, essentially fish farming. Aquaculture has
several benefits.The first benefit is that aquaculture is sustainable. Traditional fishing
tends to be unsustainable. Under the traditional model, fishing fleets make money
according to the amount of fish they remove from the environment. The more fish they
catch, the greater the profit they make. Unfortunately, when carried to excess, such a
practice destroys the fish population. If not enough fish are left to grow to maturity and
reproduce, the entire system collapses. Aquaculture, on the other hand careful manages
resources, ensuring that the there are plenty of fish both for consumption and for
maintaining healthy population numbers. Thus, aquaculture is beneficial to the
environment.The second benefit is that fish farms can provide a boost to coastal
economies. In places where aquaculture has grown, the standard of living of the people
in the communities has also risen. The jobs that can be created surrounding
aquaculture are numerous. In addition to the fish farms themselves, there are also the
secondary employment opportunities related to the processing of the harvest.Still
another beneficial aspect of aquaculture is that fish is an excellent source of protein
and fish farming allows access to that protein at a much lower cost than does
traditional commercial fishing. By making a rich source of protein available at a
reasonable price, aquaculture benefits both prosperous areas, by keeping food prices
low, and poorer areas, by providing an easily accessible, highly nutritious staple.
