Fish Meat

Plot Summary

The seas are running out of fish, and aquaculture has stepped in to meet rising demand. But what exactly is farmed fish? Where does it come from? How is it made? Is it good or bad for the environment? Two friends, a fish ecologist and an engineer, take a scientific voyage along the sparkling coast of Turkey to pull back the cover on modern fish farming. They experience the tragedy of tuna ranching, a successful nursery for sea bass, trout ponds elegantly terraced into a hillside, and an enormous fish feed factory, before finding hope for the future at a traditional mountain carp pond.
