5.9 Fish Farming


Explain the methods which are sued to farm large numbers of fish to provide a source of protein, including maintenance of water quality, control of intraspecific and interspecific predation, control of disease, removal of waste products, quality and frequency of feeding and the use of selective breeding 
Fish
- low fat and high protein
- efficient at turning their nutrients into fish mass

Advantage of fish farming
- allow us to control quality of water, ensuring that it's clean
- control predators
- reduce pests
- reduce disease
We contribute to the increase of yield of fish.

Disadvantage of fish farming
- When you have a high density of fish, the possibility is the transmission of disease. Because of this, some fish farmers have been using antibiotics, which is a concern to human health. 
- Abundance of fish also makes pest, so some farmers would use pesticides, which is also a cause of concern for human body.
