Farmed fish have a vital part to play in providing sufficient fish for our needs

Given the decline in wild fish stocks against the requirement for large quantities to fish to supply a healthy diet for our population an investment in responsible aquaculture is well founded. How are the mistakes of the past, both in agriculture and aquaculture, to be avoided (over stocking etc.)? Is the public’s perception of farmed fish too negative?

i believe we should be making sure we secure the supplies of endangered species like cod for example,widely used in the fish and chip industry.sustainability of the existing varieties so popular with the british in the form of cod and haddockk with chips and mushy peas.our most widely sold british meal and recently voted the uk's number 1 icon around the world.as an award winning fryer in the fish and chip shop of the year competition i want to see stocks recover through proper government poilcy at home and in the eu. cod and haddock are still most wanted and traditional but the introduction of other fish like john dory,monkfish,halibut and hake is still essential to give more choice and to take the pressure of fish that need to recover their stock levels.i intent to open a fish and chip and seafood restaurant shortly in the south -west more in keeping with the demands of the public and the 21st century. regards kelvin baines
