*** 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.
