▪ Abstract With continued human pressure on marine fisheries and ocean resources, aquaculture has become one of the most promising avenues for increasing marine fish production in the future. This review presents recent trends and future prospects for the aquaculture industry, with particular attention paid to ocean farming and carnivorous finfish species. The benefits of farming carnivorous fish have been challenged; extensive research on salmon has shown that farming such fish can have negative ecological, social, and health impacts on areas and parties vastly separated in space. Similar research is only beginning for the new carnivorous species farmed or ranched in marine environments, such as cod, halibut, and bluefin tuna. These fish have large market potential and are likely to play a defining role in the future direction of the aquaculture industry. We review the available literature on aquaculture development of carnivorous finfish species and assess its potential to relieve human pressure on mari...

Feeding farmed salmon: Is organic better? (2007, background): “Traditionally, salmon feeds have relied heavily on fish meals and oils from dedicated reduction fisheries for protein and lipids (Hardy, 1996; Naylor et al., 2000; Naylor and Burke, 2005).”
Most fish destined for fishmeal production are food-grade fish (2017, background): “…demand for fish of a specific type that is preferred by consumers in developed countries (e.g. salmon; Golden et al., 2016a, 2016b) in the context of an ocean where top predators and many other fish stocks are severely depleted (Kleisner, Zeller, Froese, & Pauly, 2013; Naylor & Burke, 2005).”
Fugitive Salmon: Assessing the Risks of Escaped Fish from Net-Pen Aquaculture (2005, background): “New species currently being farmed include Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria), Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus), Pacific threadfin (Polydactylus sexfilis), mutton snapper (Lutjanus analis), bluefin tuna (Thunnus spp.), turbot (Scophthalmus maximus), sea bass (Dic”
Utilisation of feed resources in production of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in Norway (2015, background): “Farming of Atlantic salmon has been seen as negative due to the use of small pelagic fish in the feed, and it has been claimed that salmon farming reduces the amount of marine protein available for human consumption (Naylor and Burke, 2005; Naylor et al., 2000, 2009).”
Underwater Internet of Things in Smart Ocean: System Architecture and Open Issues (2020, background): “a potential energy resource, such as tidal energy and the kinetic energy of the ocean currents [13]–[15].”
The decline of mussel aquaculture in the European Union: causes, economic impacts and opportunities (2020, background): “…within the EU does not attract the local environmental and ethical criticisms directed at Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas and finfish farming (e.g. Naylor & Burke 2005; Shepherd & Little 2014) as it: • grows native species, typically sourced from the locality which therefore match the local…”
Searching for Solutions in Aquaculture: Charting a Sustainable Course (2012, neutral): “FO: fish oil ecosystems to build aquaculture infrastructure (31); salinization of groundwater and aquifers (32); use of large quantities of freshwater (33); disease and parasite transmission to wild populations (34–36); escaped or introduced organisms that interbreed with wild organisms of the same ”
Fatty acid composition of 12 microalgae for possible use in aquaculture feed (2007, background): “The global aquaculture production was 547 million tonnes in 2003 (FAO 2006), and it has been growing by roughly 9% annually ( Naylor and Burke 2005 ), with trends towards intensification and greater control over nutritional input that result in increasing demand for fish feed.”
Aquaculture practices and potential human health risks: current knowledge and future priorities. (2008, background): “As a result of the non-hygienic and stressful conditions (Barton and Iwama, 1991) present in aquaculture facilities–including high fish densities, high farm densities in coastal waters and lack of appropriate barriers between farms (Naylor and Burke, 2005)–the risk of bacterial infections among aqua”
Ecological engineering in aquaculture — Potential for integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) in marine offshore systems (2009, background): “Fish species to be cultivated in both environments will generally be of high commercial value, which, given current market demand, consist largely of carnivorous species in intensive farming practices (Naylor and Burke, 2005).”
