Fish farms are a growing industry – and there are plenty of issues to explore around the idea of “growing” fish. What are the environmental and sustainability concerns? Why does fish farming have such a bad reputation? Find out on a fish-themed episode of What Doesn’t Kill You, as Katy Keiffer is joined by Scott Nichols, Director of Verlasso®, a salmon fish farm, and Environmental Defense Fund’s Sustainable Seafood Program manager Tim Fitzgerald. This program was sponsored by Rolling Press.
“The large scale farming of fish is a new business. Through time, the salmon industry has learned its way through a lot of challenges and has been able to develop rapidly.” [05:00]
