La acuicultura agota los océanos: un salmón de cultivo puede llegar a consumir más de seis veces su peso en peces silvestres
Gran parte de la harina de pescado utilizada por las piscifactorías españolas procede de países extranjeros, donde la producción de los insumos de la acuicultura genera graves impactos sociales

The promise of “simpler rules” is politically attractive. The consequences may be far less so. Reopening the #CommonFisheriesPolicy could unravel years of progress towards sustainable fisheries, creating new risks. Thanks, @drrashidsumaila.bsky.social, for helping bring clarity.
How can we eat fish responsibly? While intensive fishing and marine fish farming are harmful practices, is land-based fish farming the solution? The Sea Around Us PI, Dr. Daniel Pauly, explores this question with @info.radio-canada.ca www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-nE...

The Cabo Verde Blue Sharks aren't just a football team
Mongabay@mongabay.com · 4w agoFishers are the backbone of Cabo Verde’s economy and identity. Through the Guardians of the Sea program, 190 volunteers act as a deterrent against illegal activities and monitor marine life, driving long-term conservation efforts across seven islands. Alice Pistolesi and Monica Pelliccia report.
In fact, some species' distribution shifts reflect a retreat to ecologically suboptimal refuges in the face of habitat loss and other human threats. bit.ly/pandasau
Protected areas’ location may hinder conservation efforts of refugee species | Sea Around Us
The tendency to place protected areas in habitats that are less attractive to humans because they are not very productive may be the reason why many species remain threatened and continue to decline.
