*** Fish farming does not save ocean fish - study

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Salmon and shrimp farming does not protect the
world's dwindling fish supply, as once thought, but reduces it
because of feeding requirements and environmental damage, researchers
said Thursday. Scientists had thought fish farming, or aquaculture,
could provide a valuable resource management tool and a steady food
supply. But a new report indicates the booming shrimp and salmon
industries actually damage the delicate balance of the seas. "(The
report) challenges the very common assumption that fish farming
produces more fish for the world to eat," said Rebecca Goldburg, a
biologist for the Environmental Defense Fund who worked on the
journal Science report. See
