Based on not just this report but also others I've seen I've little doubt that farming fish is far from ideal and that the health of wild-caught fish is significantly better. Nevertheless, I'm always somewhat suspicious of the claims made in documentaries such as this one for they're usually made by or for people who've an axe to grind with the industry and or for various ideological reasons they're opposed to it.
I've not sufficient evidence to contradict the points made in this doco but my suspicious have become raised because it makes various claims and presents them as facts with little supporting evidence/references.
Because of an expanding population and an increasing demand for fish, and as fish farms offer a solution, it's imperative we have accurate information about the industry. It, therefore, would be good if more independent information were available to the public. If things have to be done to both (a) raise the health standard of farmed fish and (b) make the industry both environmentally friendly and economically sustainable then everybody must be made aware of them.
