This is an excellent way to learn about the latest developments in seafood in the US particularly the East Coast. If you have any interest in seafood - catching or eating - this will be of value. Some parts are wonky about catch quotas but other parts about new farms and changing attitudes and stats are interesting. It names the farms so it's also a guide of sorts to where to find the latest greatest fish. It talks about Barramundi of course, but also Cobia which is the next frontier. What's happening is farmers are looking for the cows, pigs and chickens of the ocean world, fish that can be farmed successfully at scale. They can be raised in pens way off shore in deep water, blue water, where many of the problems caused by salmon farming in coastal waters don't exist. One of the farms is called Open Blue, 8 miles off the coast of Panama in the Gulf Stream, they raise Cobia. Their website has a fantastic 3D video: https://openblue.com/pages/open-blue-interactive-experience .. which gives a sense of where things are going. The book also discusses shellfish and seaweed farms as likely candidates for future growth, and integrated farms that bring multiple species together in the water column from floor to surface. Having been stuck eating wild Alaskan salmon for a while, I was looking for alternatives and this book was quite helpful. We tend to eat, and fish out, wild species that are popular. Eating more widely of lesser known fish is good for the fish, and takes some knowledge and confidence this book can help with. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"The prevailing notion about the world's oceans is that they've been critically overfished for years in an ongoing cycle of crash and revival. This book argues instead that there is reason for optimism: the industrial era of exploitive fishing and habitat destruction is being replaced by a new "post-industrial" age driven by technology, science-based policies, data-driven transparency, and creation of new markets that are stabilizing fisheries even as global demand for lean protein surges. Sullivan describes new innovative models developed in New England and around the world that are modernizing the way we harvest and farm marine protein. This book is for those who are concerned about marine conservation and ocean health, with a special emphasis on entrepreneurs, technologists, and investors who see the traditional and aging fishing industry as ripe for technological transformation. This audience also includes the burgeoning "sea-foodie" and "locavore-fish" movement. Sullivan's intent is to raise awareness of what he colloquially calls Fishing 4.0-a new way of thinking about fish, oceans, and food that counters the "doom and gloom" scenarios and encourages a new generation of fishers to be change-makers in one of the world's oldest industries"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
