The Aquaculture Industry Can Lead The World In Food Production

October 16, 2009

Analysis of:How will the world feed itself in 40 years' time? | www.guardian.co.uk

2050 is shaping up to be quite an ominous year. Forget the new millennium and " the end of the world ", recent predictions that our food supplies could be running out in 2050 seem much more troubling. Predictions about our oceans bounty, climate changes effecting land based crops, and the population levels of 2050, all tell us we are in trouble. All have a dramatic impact on our ability to feed the world. But wait, solutions abound, aquaculture is one solution moving in the right direction.

Salmon Are Losing Their Battle, And Telling Us We Are Losing Ours

October 12, 2009

Analysis of:Salmon - the Climate Change Forecasters | www.fishupdate.com

When we think of the environment and all the indicators of its health, as it relates to our seas and rivers, usually one does not think of listening to salmon let alone quoting them. However, they are talking to us, and we need to listen.

Our Fish Supply Crisis, Could Be The Status Quo, Again

October 7, 2009

Analysis of:Groups sue over offshore aquaculture plan | www.seafoodsource.com

I am speaking of the crisis not the status quo. The latest referenced article is illustrating why we will not develop off shore aquaculture. It may be just the first shot over the bow, but it illustrates that is seems everyone has their own vested interest and who suffers, the general population. They claim to be protecting the environment and our water resources, I think they have a small minded agenda. Look at the Big picture just once.

New Direction In Solving Our Fisheries Crisis

October 2, 2009

Analysis of:The next seafood frontier: The ocean | mutualfundsmag.us

Is this unique, raising fish in the ocean? Not at all. The big difference here is this could be the new direction we need to be moving. The new wave of ocean farmed fish will improve our supply chain with out sacrificing the environment where these farms are located. This new method of "fish farming" may well just be the beginning of deep sea aquaculture that helps our supply chain as well as preserves the vital waters where are they located. Now that is unique.

Species Conflict; Salmon, Water, And The Lack Thereof

September 29, 2009

Analysis of:California's breadbasket drying up for a fish | www.renewamerica.com

Species conflict is referred to by Governor Schwarzenegger. The species he makes reference of is fish and animal. It is not the conflict that is becoming, or should I say, has become, a major crisis. The real conflict in California is one between salmon (fish) and man. Irrigation water for farms or water for fish, at first glance it doesn't seem to be a tough choice. Things change, do they ever.

No More Fish Sticks

September 26, 2009

Analysis of:Still Learning Nothing | www.corpwatch.org

"Are the Oceans So Messed Up Even Fake Crab Meat and Fish Sticks are Endangered," This ia a quote from from The Daily Green, but it makes part of my point in reference to, and regarding our oceans reduced bounty. Perhaps the latest industry news on pollock and salmon have not been well publicized, but once the word is out, the public will soon know all about where and why their fish sticks have gone away.

The USA Aquaculture Industry Must Expand, Now

September 23, 2009

Analysis of:Farm-Fresh Fish -- With a Catch | www.washingtonpost.com

Fifty (50) percent of all fish consumed worldwide is from aquaculture. The USA imports over eighty (80) percent of our fish and shellfish. The wild catch fisheries cannot keep up with demand as yearly catches become flat and reports indicate they will be lower in the very near future. Forget about the long term, we need to address these issues now.

McDonalds, Pollock, Hoki And The Worldwide Problem Of All Three

September 20, 2009

Analysis of:Bering Sea pollock survey finds fewer fish than anticipated | www.adn.com

The recent news reports of the Pollock TAC (total allowable catch) volumes for 2010 may change things in the industry. The author of the article believes the low pollock findings are cyclical, I disagree. Perhaps the approaching outcome is the most important issue here, not the predictions of scientists and industry leaders. New predictions as of Friday, however, look quite ominous. McDonalds is now considering a change from pollock to hoki for their filet o fish, just to mention one.
