I seem to recall reading somewhere about a fiery mountain falling into the sea, seas turning into blood (like that of a dead man) and 1/3 of the fish in the sea dying.
Now I'm not one to normally give credence to that kind of thing...but this is starting make me wonder. http://translate.google.com/translat...ITORAL&act=url and then I read this article... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...sh-ashore.html ...I know I've got a copy of that old good book around here someplace...

Interestingly, most of the fishing industry is based on the offshore islands like Okinawa and such, but the residents and governors seem to be more concerned about Futenmma airbase than the fishing environmental problem. Finally, tuna farming has pretty much taken off in Japan, but the infrastructure for that are so little because there aren't any subsidies for setting up one. Brilliant government.

Farmed fish *could* be an excellent solution but typically, the "make money fast" thinking creates large monocultural vats of fish that tend to catch disease easily and then spread it to the wild population via seawater. It can be done right.... but :P

Salmon is more expensive than tuna.

It isn't easy, and it is bloody time consuming to even design in the first place. I bet the official designers have more trouble than I have because I have to draw from BOTH my finance and engineering knowledge bases just for this stupid fish pool (I am an engineering enthusiast who is studying finance in uni.). Disposal is a major problem because unlike a normal ecosystem where the fish waste and food scraps will be cycled into nature, a fish pool has to have a regulated cleaning system or the fish will get sick. This in turn, drive the costs up as much as 40%...and this means your capital has to be really bloody damn huge before you find a client for your fish. Throw in the staffing costs, land and overhead, environmental tax...this could mean that farmed fish could cost as one that is caught from a far-off migratory school (e.g, a Japanese buying fish from a fisherman operating in Western Europe). The best solution to drive costs down would be to play on the supply side of Economics, and that would be subsidy or venture-capital investment. The main idea is to regulate the cash flow through REIT-type funding, but the legal premises aren't even present in the first place. Combined with the subsequent inflation later this year, this inaction could result in further environmental damage for the decades to come. And those guys in the Diet are going to simply retire without doing anything about it. Bliss.

A bit of reading on the subject of Tuna farms. We're still a long way off.
