As an avid fisherman, this concept caught my interest. Per the article, Deep Sea Farming by Marc Guenther, the US has a 10.4 billion dollar seafood deficit. This is mostly due to importing farm raised fish from Asia.
One answer, deep sea farming of mussels and oysters, as proposed by entrepreneur Phil Cruzer for deep waters off the California coast. These two shellfish have the special advantage over most other types of aquaculture in that they get all their food from the seawater, and do not require any processed fish food, which is typically made from forage fish. This is an optimistic approach to more sustainably feeding the world.
