Dwindling fish stocks from overfishing have prompted humanity to create farmed supplies, beginning with the most accessible environments on or near land.
But the drawbacks of current fish farming has created opportunities for technology like the floating"drifter pens  pioneered by Kampachi Farms.
Given enough time, Kampachi Farms will replace stagnant ponds with GPS-tracked cages stitched out of copper wire to enable a constant inflow of fresh ocean water without flushing out the precious fish.
Collapsing fisheries are of immediate concern but land-based agriculture may also be in danger due to a predicted shortage of the crucial nutrient phosphorus by the year 2050.
At the bottom of this food chain, algae will feed fish, which feed bigger fish, which will feed in turn seafarers and landlubbers alike.
Sinking fish waste and seaweed detritus will gradually sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and deposit it on the seafloor to restart nature's eons-long process of creating fossil fuels.

The technology also has tremendous potential for patrolling coastal fisheries. To move beyond law enforcement to crime prevention the evolution of UAV technology must first be guided by a few practical cost-saving priorities.
They might consider a fisheries agent based on a coastal atoll who uses a tethered balloon carrying a radar sensor to detect all vessels that enter the community's no-take fishing sanctuary.
With such real-time information the agent could quickly radio-pinpoint directions to a local patrol boat enabling its officers to prevent illegal fishing
or to arrest poachers saving thousands of dollars in fuel that is normally spent cruising the ocean in search of poachers.
Or instead drone technicians might envision Congo forest eco-guards getting a closer and safer look at what appears be a group of well-armed ivory poachers near a salt lick.
A guard deploys an almost silent battery-powered hexacopter that maneuvers below the canopy searching for signs of poachers.
UAV developers might even conceive of a squadron of drones with heat-sensing cameras flying across the vast plains of Central asia's Ustyurt Plateau searching for signs of saiga-antelope poachers.
With these advances we can do more than catch poachers: We can prevent the killing in the first place.

The US Fish and Wildlife Service proposed on 22 october to designate around 500,000 square kilometres of critical habitat 96%of which is sea ice for the polar bear.
Tuna quotas Fisheries regulators are showing little mercy to the Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), which is in danger of being wiped out by commercial fishing.
On 27 november at a meeting in Paris, members of the Madrid-based International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas,
which manages tuna fishing, voted for 2011 catch quotas in the Mediterranean sea to be set at 12,900 tonnes,
only slightly lower than this year's 13,500 tonnes. Susan Lieberman, director of international policy for the Pew Environment Group in WASHINGTON DC, says the agreement showed that management of high seas fisheries was flawed and inadequate.
Polar-bear pad The US Fish and Wildlife Service has set aside roughly 484,000 square kilometres in Alaska and the surrounding seas as a'critical habitat'for the polar bear (Ursus maritimus),
more than two years after the species was given a protection status of'threatened'by the US Endangered Species Act.
elevated mercury levels were much more common in those who ate a lot of fish: 18%of people who ate 12 Â
or more fish meals each month had unhealthy mercury levels, in contrast to just 6%and 7%of low and moderate fish consumers, respectively.
Fernandez discovered that the most-consumed fish species in Madre de dios, such as the mota (Calophysus macropterus) and doncella (Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum), had the highest levels of mercury.
Fernandez is now leading a project to conduct a more extensive survey of the levels of mercury in fish and humans.

#Turning algae into clean energy and fish food; helping Africans to irrigate cropscould algae that feast on wastewater produce clean biofuels and a healthful supply of fish food?
Can impoverished African community gardeners learn to use and maintain a simple centuries-old nonelectric water pump to grow more vegetables?
One of the Johns Hopkins student projects focuses on growing large masses of algae to address three sustainability issues:
Their goal is to deploy algae at wastewater treatment facilities to feed on hard-to-remove pollutants such as nitrogen and phosphorus
If algae can flourish while dining on these pollutants the plant-like organisms could then be used to produce renewable biofuels or food for fish farms.
But the process is not as simple as it sounds. Wastewater can contain pathogens and dangerous metals like mercury chromium and arsenic said Pavlo Bohutskyi an environmental engineering doctoral student and leader of this team.
If algae grow in these materials and then are eaten by fish is it safe for us to eat these fish?
At the same time the pathogens in wastewater such as viruses fungi and bacteria could destroy the algae themselves
and thwart the plans to produce biofuels and fish food. With an initial EPA grant the student team tested 20 species of algae.
We found two strains that can grow well alongside pathogens and one that is already present in wastewater samples Bohutskyi said.
If the team receives one of the additional EPA grants he said the students plan to do further studies to see
or biofuel production is the most economically viable use for algae grown in wastewater. Their faculty advisers are Edward Bouwer professor and chair of the Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering and Michael Betenbaugh professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular engineering.

As a society Americans'consumption of fish especially fish that contributes to these omega-3 fats is quite low compared to other proteins Drouillard said.
Reasons for this include cost access to fish and personal preference. Americans do however like hamburgers.
in order to stimulate the growth of algae which sequesters carbon. The approach ranked as the study's least viable strategy in part
because less than a quarter of the algae could be expected to eventually sink to the bottom of the ocean which would be the only way that carbon would be sequestered for a long period of time.
Additionally increasing the algae blooms would likely wreak havoc by decreasing the oxygen available for other marine life.

This may well favor applications in existing industrial processes and commodity chains (energy, agriculture, aquaculture) and the operations of large business corporations.
