Aquaculture is a rapidly growing sector in South Africa. Although no longer the emerging and secretive industry it was 20 years ago, the consumer is still ignorant of a number of aspects of Fish Farming. Arguably the biggest misconception is that aquaculture is the environmentally viable answer to dwindling marine fish stocks. As with most things, the way the industry is run determines whether it is a good idea or not. (Source)
