I have finally finished the twelve articles I found, but I just realized I did not read any of the articles from the Global Issues website, so I will probably check those out at some point. I have reference page entries filled out for all my articles, so I am all set there for now. The two articles I read today were very informative. The first one talked about the processing of aquaculture by-products; the scientist we talked to at the GCRL in Mississippi was having a problem with this because he had no use for the by-products created by his shrimp. Aquaculture would also create jobs for waste management people, green entrepreneurs, and environmental scientists. The article also mentioned the market for aquaculture by-products. Some can be used for pharmaceuticals and food sources. These goods are in high demand, so aquaculture can have double economic benefits.
The second article was daunting because it was an 17-page scientific report about a failed fish farm in Canada. It did have some gems of valuable information about what can go wrong with aquaculture. It mentioned the necessity of sufficient oxygen levels for the health of the fish as well as the aquatic environment. I think I may need to look up the different types of fish farms for the background section of my research paper disguised as a narrative essay.
