I was under the impression that farm raised fish (compare to natural fish) has the same problems as farm/cage raised chicken/beef/etc...which is excessive use of antibiotics.

But that is a different problem with different, feasible solutions. Farm raised fish are our what we will be eating in the future.

Plant-based and lab-grown is what we'll be eating in the future. Farms (be it livestock or fish) are inefficient and cruel.

> compare to natural fish

You mean compared to wild fish. Farm raised fish are still natural.

But in any case, even if there was a lot of antibiotic usage, the point still stands: There will not be a shortage of fish.

Uhm, well, given that 1kg farmed salmon needs 2kg wild caught fish, there may still be a shortage of fish...

Tilapia eat vegetation, you can use them for feed.

Why does the salmon feed need to be wild? Why can't it also be farmed?
