Marine Aquaculture
Muhtasari
For most of human history the sea seemed an endless larder. We hunted fish the way our distant ancestors hunted game, simply taking as much as we could. But modern boats, giant nets and sonar have made us so efficient that wild fish stocks are collapsing one after another. The great question for the oceans is no longer how to catch more fish, but how to keep catching fish at all.
In this lesson you will learn how overfishing damages target species, bycatch and whole food chains, and how marine aquaculture, the farming of fish, shellfish and seaweed, is being used to take the pressure off wild stocks. You will weigh the real benefits and the real risks of fish farming, and study the management strategies, from mesh sizes and quotas to closed seasons and international agreements, that aim to make fishing sustainable.
Malengo
- 3.4.1 Describe and explain the impacts of exploitation of marine species, limited to: (a) overfishing and overharvesting of marine species (b) effect on target and bycatch species (c) effect on food chains.
- 3.4.2 Define marine aquaculture as the farming of marine species in captivity, limited to: (a) fish (b) crustaceans (c) seaweeds. Knowledge of specific species is not required.
- 3.4.3 Describe and explain the impacts of marine aquaculture, limited to: (a) reduced exploitation of natural fisheries (b) increased food supply for humans (c) risk of escape (d) risk of disease (e) local food webs (f) nutrient enrichment from waste (g) energy usage (h) source of food for farmed species.
- 3.4.4 Describe and explain strategies for the management of the harvesting of marine species, limited to: (a) limits on size of boat and overall net size (b) increased mesh size of nets (c) sustainable methods: pole and line (d) quotas (e) closed seasons (f) limited number of fishing days (g) protected areas (h) conservation laws (i) international agreements: implementation and monitoring.
