LOOKING BACK: The following article was written 18 years ago when I expressed concerns about the impact of protein and fat sourcing for aquaculture. It seems, perhaps, that little has changed.
That’s how I see it tonight.
This is how I saw it then:
Depending on who you talk to, it appears that somewhere between 4 pounds and 20 pounds of good raw fish protein and oil is used to produce food pellets which will produce only one pound of Atlantic salmon.Think of that! In a protein starved world we could be using as much as 20 lbs of perfectly edible fish flesh to produce one pound of salmon for consumption by the privileged few!
