If we don’t figure out a way to produce seafood sustainably, we may live to see a future when wild fish are too rare to eat. Fish farming has increased as an alternative to ocean fishing (nearly half of all fish eaten worldwide today are, in fact, farmed), but marine farming — raising ocean-caught fish in netted coastal pens — can be extremely problematic for nearby coastal ecosystems.

we are starting an operation in michigan which will be the first of its kind in the state, using abandoned factories, and warehouses. year round indoor growth for food agriculture, and job creation. we need help in our fish farming technology. our tanks will be 20,000 gallons and larger. our goal is fresh foods, and fish continuously in many neighborhoods, and cities.
can you assist?
thank you.

Please tell me what kind of fish you are proposing to grow. Great idea by the way. A group in Milwaukee has started just what you are describing. Check out Sweet Water Organics. Also in Milwaukee, the Urban Aquaculture Center is promoting urban fish farming.
