Aquaculture

1) Aquaculture: This is the rearing of aquatic animals or the cultivation of aquatic plants for food.
2) Pros and cons of aquaculture on humans, the environment and the economy. 
Humans. Pros: It can create jobs, can reduce seafood trade deficit and retain a good food supply with out worrying about depleting the number of fish. Cons: can threaten jobs for local fisherman, cause conflict with lobsterman who are trying to catch lobster in an area where a fish farm is located and. 
The environment. Pros:  create a safe place for fish that are in danger of extinction, help fish species grow. Cons: destroy ecosystems in order to sustain the fish farm, cause disease in the fish and fish that escape the farms can transmit disease to other fish in the water. 
Economy: Pros: create revenue for the city and the province, can create local investment and can create more jobs. Cons: can be costly in anything was to go wrong like spreading disease among fish.
3) I don't totally agree with it or disagree with aquaculture. So the reason why that I do agree with it is because it keeps a supply of fish to the world with out the worry of the fish depleting. It also create jobs which doesn't only help people but also helps the countries economy out as well. Which I think is great to know that the fish won't just disappear. So the reason why I disagree with I idea is because it destroys the ecosystem in which the farm is located in in order to sustain the farm. I also can cause many problems among the fish like disease. And fishermen and lobsterman will sat art to lose jobs if more of theses appear. But at the end I am just in the middle where I agree on some points and disagree on some point.
