Aquaculture is something that may or may not help. I was reading recently, for every kilo of farm raised salmon, shrimp, or other carnivorous fish, it requires 1.8 kilos of fish from the sea. So, while we can get warm and fuzzy that the fish are farm raised, the ecological impacts are still there. They still need to trawl for bait fish to feed that salmon and the shrimp. Also, the pollution from these aqua farms is significant.

You do have to realize that within the ocean it would take more than 1.8 kilos from the ocean. 1.8 kilos is actually pretty good. After all you have to figure that in the end it would take at least 2.8 Kilos from the ocean if all our fish were caught from the ocean.
