Used by AQA
Specification 3.6.1.2 · Paper 1
Revise: Food and the EnvironmentFish farming, also called aquaculture, involves rearing fish in controlled environments such as tanks or enclosures for food. It can provide a consistent food supply and reduce pressure to catch wild fish. This can help limit overfishing and protect wild populations for the future.
Evaluate organic production and fish farming using both benefits and limitations; neither label guarantees a smaller overall environmental impact.
