"Green Aquaculture" Environmentally friendly aquaculture comapines like
Snapperfarm in Puerto Rico are filling a void left by declining stocks in the
wild. This open-ocean system, with deepwater cages in high current areas that
disperse excrement from the fish do not pollute, unlike farms in coastal
shallows. Aquaculture companies usually feed carnivorous fish smaller fish of
other species, but Snapperfarm raises its cobia on a diet of half grain, half
fish meal and hopes to eventually eliminate fish from the feed.
