Fish are an attractive product to farmers as they:
- have low fat and high protein
- are efficient at turning their nutrient into fish mass
Fish Farming Advantages:
- allow the control of the quality of water - clean
- can control predators
- Can produce and control pests
- Can control diseases
By controlling all these factors it contributes to an increase in yield of fish.
However, where there is a high density of fish, the possibility of transmission of disease increases.
- This has caused fish farmers to begin using antibiotics
- The abundance of fish within the fish farm makes pests common and so some farmers have begun to use pesticides
Both these contribute to the cause of concern for humans.
